1.The optimistic procrastinator
You overestimate your skills and underestimate the challenge. Your goals may be too small, or you didn't break the big goals into daily tasks.
Solution: Commit to a deadline, or make it a challenge to get done as much as possible.
2 .The distracted procrastinator
You may love your work, but other tasks seem more appealing because you gravitate towards the path of least resistance.
Solution: Block your distractions. Plan days where you reward yourself generously, to make smaller temptations less attractive.

3. The perfectionist procrastinator
Preparation scares you. You want improved quality when you didn't work for long enough to optimize. You may waste your time by giving too much time to irrelevant details.
Solution: Shift your focus from results to actions
4 The guilty procrastinator
Your interpretation of failure is preventing you from working. You accept distractions because you already lost, but then think things will eventually fix themselves.
Solution: When you failed, you did not understand how much you actually learned. Take a day off to stop thinking.

5. The busy procrastinator
You have over-committed and have no time left. Even if you have time, you sometimes don't see the point in spending time on those tasks.
Solution: If a task is irrelevant, stop the task.. Prioritize your goals and work on one at a time. Also, know that you can make progress at a slower pace.
