I think at times those people that struggle with immeadiacy do not give the procrastinators enough time. If there is a deadline, let them have that time. I do tend to procrastinate, but my work is always done on time. It might be the last minute, but it is done, and done with quality.
I suffer from procrastination myself. I am always leaving things until the last second, and then as a result, I become very anxious at the time of a deadline. I think a healthy balance of procrastination and immediacy is important.
I to suffer from immeadiacy and procrastination is the most stressful think I face in a day
Hi James, I have given up attempting to rely on individuals when I am on a tight timeframe. Murphy's Law will always occur. Therefore, I handle the procrastinators by giving false due dates that will still allow ample time to complete the task. What are your thoughts on this?
Kind Regards,
Lee
i have found that knowing the working style of the people iwork with greatly reduces stress because my expectations of them become more realistic. i can make plans besed on a more acurate time scale and thus find productivity increases and stress decreases.
Yes, procrastinators can be so frustrating to work with James. Learning more about the various working styles of the people in your office can help you plan better, but not eliminate the problem.
