It might seem counterintuitive, but procrastinators are often perfectionists. Many people who perform well can allow themselves to make mistakes, and understand bad days and setbacks. They are open to self-evaluation and improvement. This is something a procrastinator can’t do as easily. Instead, a procrastinator:
*has unrealistic demands
*strives to do the impossible, and
*can’t accept less than a perfect performance
Sounds like you? Do you get overwhelmed with what you expect of yourself? And to avoid embarrassment, do you stop trying and procrastinate?
Think about setting realistic goals instead. Let yourself have bad days. Take one step at a time. Focus on doing your best instead of evaluating the outcome so harshly. And most importantly, enjoy the process!
