Procrastinator Personality Charts

Dr. Joseph Ferrari Compiles Procrastination Methods and Tips

— August 5, 2014 — Business
Using an informative flow chart, Dr. Joseph Ferrari helps you understand your procrastination methods and what type of time waster you are. The author of 'Still Procrastinating? The No-Regrets Guide to Getting It Done' not only identifies your particular procrastinator personality, but also offers success tips catered to each general type. Whether you are a thrill-seeker, an avoider or indecisive, these tips will help you keep your time-wasting tendencies under control.

The associate professor of psychology at Chicago's DePaul University establishes three different motives for why people procrastinate. From enjoying the feeling of working with deadlines to fear of judgement and responsibility shifting, there are a few different factors that contribute to why people put things off. These basic procrastination methods (and their solutions) were compiled into the flowchart via OfficeTime.
