What Might Be Behind My Procrastination?
Original exploration. Not a validated psychological measure.
When I put things off, what tends to be getting in the way, and what does it cost me?
Thirty-one everyday situations: a report your manager wants, an insurance claim, a job application you chose, a blood test your doctor asked for, and more. The same situations are asked for each kind of task, so the comparison is fair. Find out where delays show up, what most often gets in the way, and what to do about it. About fourteen minutes.
Imagine yourself in each situation and choose what you would most likely do, not what you think you should do. Take the details as given: how big the task is, when it's due, how much free time you have, and what happens if it's late. Some situations are asked for different kinds of task on purpose. If a situation can't apply to you (for example, you don't work or study), choose “Not applicable”.
