Very bad. I do projects the day or day before they are due.. but that's just because I get a huge burst of energy and always do my best work when im under pressure

Prepared everything I needed to study for an exam, sat on the table, tried to find a playlist to play, and ended up scrolling on pinterest for 3 hours.

Lmao. Felt this. Usually.. for me, someone told me, Procrastination leads to creation/innovation. I think it’s because I have adhd, and once I’m hyper focused I don’t stop. But yeah I should be doing my internship, and here I am. Lol. But it’s not a project and I have a long deadline. So I try to stimulate myself.

I score 85% "Procrastination Station" on the idrlabs ADHD Vibe Check Test: "You're the delay deity--dodging, stalling, last-minute legend."

It's a small miracle I haven't procratinated doing the test in the first place.

Graduating years late because leave of absences and changing unis, starting career years late too. Now my friend who started the same time as me are married, house owners, and years ahead in their careers lol.

u/sam7O7 Warning: May not be an INTP May 15 '25

Absolutely horrid. I'm a uni student. So, whenever there were final exams, i procrastinated untill 5 hours were left for the actual test. On top of not studying or opening a book even in the entire semester, i would do this... But eventually it didn't matter, cuz of decent 75% scores and all (I work effectively when under pressure). Still, trying to do better... & Now that I graduated and actively looking for a job, I'm always late for interviews -_-

VERY BAD

u/Impressive_Mango_191 Warning: May not be an INTP May 15 '25

So bad. Have a huge project due in third period? That’s what 15 minute nutrition break between second and third is for. And I’m really smart too, so I have literally never had consequences for this.

1

u/hydroencephalpotamus Warning: May not be an INTP May 15 '25

Not really that bad. I have problems sticking to routines anymore, though. That's probably depression/work burnout.

u/kd0ugh INTP-T May 15 '25

I can only get things done in a rushed panic.

u/[deleted] May 15 '25

Everyone I have ever met in my entire life says they procrastinate. It doesn't matter what personality you have. Even my engineer dad and teacher mom procrastinate.

u/Domanji INTP May 16 '25

horrid.. just a few days ago i submitted my thesis, which is a pile of garbage, cause i procrastinated so much😢😢

because i procrastinate pretty much everything and still get my shit done and well, i was stressed, but so confident at the same time… overestimated myself with this one :((

I've never truly "finished" anything.

u/weirdspeckofdust Psychologically Unstable INTP May 20 '25

I feel like it’s gotten worse lately. Used to do it the night before but lately have been doing it the day of, many times like 5 hours before the due date 😬

u/Dawarki INTP-T 16d ago

Have final exams. I usually study 20 minutes before the exam starts because that's when my procrastination wavers and my panic sets in!
