How often do you procrastinate?

by•
A few more questions (takes only 2-3 minutes): 1. How serious of a problem it is for you personally? (On a scale of 1-5) 2. Did you ever try solving this problem? (Yes / No) 3. If "Yes", what solutions / approaches did you try? (1-3 sentences would be great) 4. Does the problem still persist today? (Yes / No) I'm conducting some research for my product, would appreciate any answer, detailed or not. Thank you, Hunters!

@vlad_zaev Thanks for sharing, Vlad! Did you learn how to suppress it, or does it come naturally to you?

I do procrastinate, every day. Maybe a bad habit, some say, but it is usually followed by explosion of creativity. Later I discovered the words of this wise man: “Few understand that procrastination is our natural defense, letting things take care of themselves and exercise their antifragility; it results from some ecological or naturalistic wisdom, and is not always bad -- at an existential level, it is my body rebelling against its entrapment. It is my soul fighting the Procrustean bed of modernity.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

@nenadg Thanks Nenad! I notice that frequently too – all the creativity bursts when you least expect it. However, coexisting with "good procrastination", according to my observations, there's also "bad procrastination" – putting even the simplest things off for no apparent reason. Just laying on the bed scrolling through Instagram, reading news for the 10th time today, etc. Do you ever experience any of that?

WOW! Didn't expect such an overwhelming response, but I definitely do welcome it! Thank you to everyone who participated, whether it's the poll, the survey or both! (Dear moderators, if I violated any rules by asking for additional interviews, please let me know, will edit to comply.)
