Procrastinators are usually bright, intelligent people who have set very high standards for themselves. They are rarely satisfied with their own performance and are extremely self-critical. Procrastinators often carry a very heavy load of responsibility and attempt to do too many things. Not surprisingly, procrastinators are very busy people. Frequently overworked, they can be counted on to accept more.
Procrastinators are often perfectionists.
Their self-imposed standards often become so high that no one could possibly achieve them. They often are the cause of bottlenecks in the production cycle, because they insist on looking everything over before it goes on to the next step. They generally delegate poorly, have trouble trusting staff, and often work themselves into a frazzle. Procrastinators accumulate things. They want to collect all the possible data, often in duplicate, before making a decision.
