Hm well if I know I can get things done the fastest and most efficiently in the last minute is it really procrastination or just a late time block for something?
This of course doesn’t apply to everything I do but some things like packing I have done so many times I know that I can get moved in a day and have time to spare.. Unpacking to for the most part… I like my place to be settled to look settled and to know where everything is. Order is important. I also pack for trips the last day because I am going to be using some of that stuff until the last day so why bother being halfway packed and having a suitcase out longer then necessary instances like this I think is far more practical then doing them well in advance.
I used to be a procrastinator and for me it was a mixture of depression and a way to control my life… (passive-aggressive) This was a habit formed as a child as I was very resentful of how my time wasn’t my own to dictate. Now if I display the behavior, by the time I was on my own it was habitual. Though now I have broken that habit unless it is something I fear or dread, the end result. But I have even started recognizing the reason behind that motivation and how it usually negatively impacts my life in various ways. As well as depresses me. So recognizing the source consciously helps me deal with it directly instead of allowing anxiety to take over. Leaps and bounds I have improved.
The only remaining things are things that are optional to a degree. My days are pretty full and surprises come and I usually go with the flow if I want to badly enough I will make the time.
