We often come up with a number of excuses or rationalizations to justify our behavior. According to researchers, there are 15 key reasons why people say they procrastinate Not knowing what needs to be done Not knowing how to do something Not wanting to do something Not caring if it gets done or not Not caring when something gets done Not feeling in the mood to do it Being in the habit of waiting until the last minute Believing that you work better under pressure Thinking that you can finish it at the last minute Lacking the initiative to get started Forgetting Blaming sickness or poor health Waiting for the right moment Needing time to think about the task Delaying one task in favor of working on another Types of Procrastination Some researchers classify two types of procrastinators: passive and active procrastinators.10 Passive procrastinators: Delay the task because they have trouble making decisions and acting on them Active procrastinators: Delay the task purposefully because working under pressure allows them to "feel challenged and motivated" Others define the types of procrastinators based on different behavioral styles of procrastination, including:11 Perfectionist: Puts off tasks out of the fear of not being able to complete a task perfectly Dreamer: Puts off tasks because they are not good at paying attention to detail Defier: Doesn't believe someone should dictate their time schedule Worrier: Puts off tasks out of fear of change or leaving the comfort of "the known" Crisis-maker: Puts off tasks because they like working under pressure Overdoer: Takes on too much and struggles with finding time to start and complete task
