The six styles of procrastination
Psychologist Linda Sapadin described six procrastinator styles: the perfectionist, the dreamer, the worrier, the defier, the crisis-maker and the overdoer. Each one delays for a different reason, so each needs a different strategy.
Researchers such as Tim Pychyl and Fuschia Sirois have shown that procrastination is less about laziness or time management and more about managing uncomfortable emotions. Understanding your style is the first step to breaking the cycle.
