Procrastination is a lot easier to pull of when working individually. It can create some challenges when working with a partner or with teams. Communication is key. My wife is a procrastinator and it is remarkable what she does within a small amount of time. However, I think it can often create a lot of avoidable stress and unforeseen challenges that could be avoided with some parents and thoughtful scheduling and planning. Love the meme though!

The stress is the point though, right. You feel that it is important and there you give it your all. And then when there's nothing important to do, you relax and wander about. Stress is the motivator. Making a schedule is boring and so if it even gets made, it won't have follow through.

I think people just function differently in terms of how they approach work, which is ok. Some people work best by moving stress well ahead of declines or spreading things out over time. Sometimes responsibilities also don’t allow for people to procrastinate. Lots of variables. Some people need stress to be motivated it seems.

I think within the context of ADHD, I've heard that this is true. That the stress motivates them to get the thrill of getting it done. Of course, not all people with ADHD, I imagine, but I understand that this behavior is more common in people with ADHD.
