I’ve always been a selective procrastinator.
When I was at university, I’d start my assignments as soon as I received them and hand them in days early. Yep, I was one of those people. But I knew if I didn’t, I would leave it to the last minute and turn into a stress ball. Which wouldn’t have been fun for me or my housemates.
But when it comes to cleaning or tidying? I am the polar opposite. I leave it to the last possible minute, (*ahem Sunday night) after spending all day brunching and watching Netflix.
According to the below flowchart, I am a 'perfectionist'. Oh yes, my inner Virgo. To avoid criticism, I take longer on my work until it's flawless. Or at least I think it is, and put off other things I know I won't be able to make 'perfect'.
