Are you a Pro-Procrastinator?

1 Comment

Procrastination. Putting off what needs to be done, for no good reason. Never finishing what you begin. We all do it from time-to-time. But some of us take it too far.

Are you a Professional Procrastinator? Or are you so highly organized and motivated that you put the rest of us normal people to shame? This quiz will shed light on your productive (an unproductive) habits.

Have you ever spent time creating an online quiz in order to avoid doing real, necessary work that you don't want to do, for example, your Honors Thesis?
- Absolutely Not. That's ridiculous.
- I might have thought about it, but not done it.
- Maybe once or twice.
- I'm doing that right now!
Do you have a mental list of at least ten great ready-made excuses for why something was late or unfinished?
- I have one or two, but rarely use them.
- Why would anything ever be late or unfinished?
- I spend more time perfecting those excuses than I do trying to finish the work.
- Yeah, I have a couple good ones.
Do you insist on calling these "explanations" or "reasons" instead of excuses?
- Well of course, that's what they are.
- Im not familiar with the term "excuse."
- I call it what it is -- an excuse.
Do you spend more time making lists of crap you have to do, rather than actually doing the crap?
- Nothing I have to do is "crap" -- it's precious work that cannot be ignored.
- Yeah, dude, I have lists of crap-lists.
- What is this thing you call "list?" If I don't plan on doing it, why bother writing it down?
Have you ever scrolled through the entire list of phone numbers in your cell phone or address book, looking for someone you could call who would trap you in conversation so you wouldn't have to get some work done?
- I don't even have to scroll through any more, I know those numbers off the top of my head.
- Why would I do that? Anyone who interferes with me getting work done is NOT my friend.
- Sometimes I will look for it, but end up convincing myself that the work needs to get done first.
- I have done that a couple of times, but usually get the work done soon after I get off the phone.
Hypothetical Situation: You come to work on Friday morning, and suddenly realize that the annoyingly long and difficult proposal was due yesterday, and you forgot to do it. You boss immediately accosts you, demanding an explanation. You . . .
- Start to cry a little. I hate disappointing him/her.
- Apologize quickly and swear it will (probably) never happen again.
- Start looking for a new job, one that's a little more "casual."
- Impossible, that would never happen.
Let's say that you have been assigned a particular task which is not really difficult, but which you simply do not enjoy because it is boring. Would you ever find yourself doing something that is actually more difficult in order to avoid doing the boring
- No, I just wouldn't do anything at all.
- I would probably start doing the tougher task, but end up feeling guilty and going back to the boring one.
- I would do both. At once. And manage to put red bows on all the work I turn in.
- I might think about doing something harder just to avoid the annoying one, but I don't think I would actually do that.
Are you currently taking this online quiz instead of doing something important which needs to be done?
- Yes, but I feel bad about it.
- Absolutely not! This quiz was on my official "to-do" list.
- Yes. In fact, I have a blank Microsoft Word Document under the browser right now, waiting for me to type a paper (which I probably won't do.)
Do you, on a regular basis, leave all of your dirty dishes in the sink until you have literally run out of dishware and utensils?
- Yes, and I usually end up buying plastic ones, so I can put off washing the dishes as long as humanly possible.
- That's disgusting. I wash my dishes so quickly that they never even touch the sink.
- I have once or twice, but it's not a habit.
- No, but I've gotten frighteningly close!
Have you ever NOT called your mother specifically because you knew she would ask you if you've finally started working on such-and-such, and you don't even want to be reminded about it? (Be honest.)
- At this point, she knows better than to even ask. It's too disappointing for her to hear my responses.
- I did in college, because she always seemed to know when midterms and Exams were, and always wanted to know how prepared (or, unprepared) I was.
- No! Sometimes, I call my mother to see if I'm forgetting anything. (I never am.)
- No, because I usually am on-target. But if not, she's a good motivator.
