Personally, I perform better under deadlines; therefore, I learned how to deal with them professionally by using procrastination to my advantage and transferring this system to my life. π

I'm usually a self motivated person but when i see myself procrastinating
i know it's anxiety setting in
i like throwing myself into the deep end
setting deadlines or putting something online that forces me into an uncomfortable spot where i have to figure something out
a usual sink or swim scenario
because the cure to anxiety is action for me

I'm better off with deadlines too, they keep me checked.
@satish_kumar_veluri Yeah, absouletly! Same goes for me. π
I do procrastinate and do self-motivate :) As I see it, procrastination is about conscious delaying of tasks performance and actively choosing something else to do, apart from the given task. But, frankly saying, I try to procrastinate within the deadlines scope - so personal or given deadlines help to get things done.
@anastasiiahere Yeah, I guess, I'm somewhere in the middle of both.π If you want to find out how I overcome procrastination, you can check out our blog. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts about it. https://www.usebeforesunset.com/...
Self-motivated majority of the time, some projects thought require a deadline for them to be given the priority they deserve.
Don't see a contradiction here:
one can be a self-motivated person but still procrastinate!
(And I am a fine example of that).
I do procrastinate and do self-motivate. But most of the time I self motivated.
@chris_whirrett thats the key I guess if one is self motivated, they'll lesser chance or procrastinating stuff.
To get anything done, you have to be able to motivate yourself. Self-motivation is the key to becoming more successful with your time and money.
These are not mutually exclusive:)
Do I motivate myself? Yes.
Do I procrastinate? Yes.
I would say, procrastination is the way our brain doubts the necessity of the actions we want to take. It's not a bad thing, that's our subconscious talking to us to let us know we're doing something - in its opinion - lame:)
I'm a mixture of both.π
I am definitely a self-motivated person. I have always been the type of person who likes to be in control of my own destiny, and I find that the best way to stay on track is by being proactive and staying focused on my goals.
There will always be times when we feel like procrastinating, but if you are truly passionate about what you're doing, then it's important to push through those moments and stay the course. And remember, Rome wasn't built in a day β it takes time and patience to achieve great things. So don't get discouraged; just keep your head down and put in the work. It'll be worth it in the end.
i like to think i'm self-motivated
Procrastinate!

I am a self motivated person. I feel like every day is new to start fresh, think back try new approach to meet your goals. For me motivation come from new challenges.
I'm good with consistency.
Some days IΒ΄m at my 100% being super productive. Other I'm at my 50% or 30%, not super productive.
But I show up every day, at that is consistency and the power of the compound effect.
Don't put pressure on yourself, due to not being 100% one or two days, the most important thing is that you are showing up.
sometimes I procrastinate but I try to motivate myself
It depends on what I do. If I really want to achieve a goal deeply or if I really enjoy what I'm doing I never procrastinate
Yes!
Allow me to explainβ¦
I am self-motivated (I've been running a business since 99, alone most of the time), so there's that.
But, there are some things I have to do (such as accounting, or anything I think is tedious) where I sometimes spend a lot of effort trying to avoid doing those things!
I love what I do β¦ until that moment when I don't.
I procrastinate a lot, but then have to do power-hours to compensate :D
I hate it, but I just lose focus too quickly, and can't perform in a more stable manner - it's always a frequent change of procrastination-work during the day.
