How often do you procrastinate?

1. Probably a three. Its typically on days where work is less concrete, whether its doing readings or working on slide decks. 2. Yes 3. I've tried the Pomodoro Timer at pomofocus.io, which i found works fantastic. Sets up 30 minute blocks where you work for 25 minutes with 5 minute breaks. 4. I wouldn't say it entirely solves my problems, but that's typically because i either forgot or choose not to use it.

1. it's a 3 for me too 2. Yes 3. I tried setting up my calendar with alerts with everything I need to do. 4. The problem still persists, because I get notification blindness very easily.

It is a pressing problem for me (I would rate it 4 out of 5). And I've tried multiple approaches to solving the problem (for eg. Pomodoro timer, 5-second rule, etc) Using a Kanban flow map along with a Pomodoro timer has helped me understand where I get distracted and helped me plan better.

1. 3-4 2. Yes 3. No specific tool or method just me trying to become a more serious person who respects himself. 4. Yes but to a lesser extent

1. It's a 2 for me. Especially if there are tasks that I don't enjoy. 2. Yepp 3. Tools don't work, because if you are a true procrastinator, you won't utilize the tools. 4. It's not totally fixed but much, much better.

1. How serious of a problem it is for you personally? - 5 2. Did you ever try solving this problem? - Yes 3. If "Yes", what solutions / approaches did you try? - Setting daily reminders in Google Calendar. Setting task duration in ClickUp. Maintaining proper sleep cycle and working hours. 4. Does the problem still persist today? - Yes, keeps fluctuating though. Once I give myself a reality check, I make sure the tasks are done and not procrastinated.

Ehhh, I'll answer this poll later.

1. Daily 2. Yes 3. Focus in the process no the product ("Tackling Procrastination" https://www.coursera.org/learn/l...) 4. Yes, but it's more easily to recover my motivation

1) For me it's 1 2) Nope, I just wait its gone 3) 4) Nope,it happens really not often

1) 3.5 2) Yes I try to solve it, but that is also a form of procrastination in itself. 3) Paper lists, white board, trello, to dos, flagged emails. Too many places to track, and building a system takes time (a perfect form of procrastination), but if I don't look at the lists then it doesn't matter. 4) Yes. Challenging with meetings, small tasks, emails to respond to, and big projects that have many tasks and build over time. No tool is great at aggregating all of these things. And multiple tools means you end up missing one of the lists.

I do procrastinate, every day. Maybe a bad habit, some say, but it is usually followed by explosion of creativity. Later I discovered the words of this wise man: “Few understand that procrastination is our natural defense, letting things take care of themselves and exercise their antifragility; it results from some ecological or naturalistic wisdom, and is not always bad -- at an existential level, it is my body rebelling against its entrapment. It is my soul fighting the Procrustean bed of modernity.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

1. 3 2. Indeed 3. planning, switch between activities, hours of "no shame" rest on the agenda 4. No I think procrastination is the result of bad planning skills and no connection with your own personality :)

1. It's a 3. Maybe procrastination is sometimes helpful because you avoid pursing something which is neither important nor a priority. 2. Yes, ... 3. it works with proper planning - which prevents poor performance and procrastination - a sense of urgency, and proper accountability. 4. Yes - but I'd differentiate between positive and negative procrastination. All in all I'd say procrastination exists when there is a lack of planning, accountability, and urgency.
