Take the Procrastination Equation Survey
Procrastination is pervasive, and it concerns us. At least 95% of us procrastinate at least occasionally and about 15-20% of us do it consistently and problematically.
Find out where you land in the ranks of procrastination. Are you a garden-variety dilly dallier or are you hardcore with "tomorrow" tattooed across your back?
- Complete the more comprehensive survey here that I've administered to tens of thousands of subjects around the world to get a more detailed diagnosis of your procrastination profile, along with a few scientifically proven tips for taming our tendency to put things off.
Keep in mind that you can choose to exit the survey at any time, but you will only get your feedback by answering all the questions. With your participation, we will continue to improve our understanding of procrastination and the destructive patterns that adversely impact our lives.
