Procrastination for all things great and small
"So I definitely know the style of procrastination I do. It's either for the very large things like planning a trip, or a career step, or something massive. Or the very, very small things like doing laundry, and them in between, I mostly jump to to avoid those other ones."

Procrastinating about cleaning
"Anyone that knows me will tell you that I procrastinate about cleaning. I absolutely hate it, and I don't tend to do it until I can actually see the dirt and grime and dust, and by then it's, it's hideous. So yeah, that's a crutch of mine. And I'm hoping to, uh, you know, get over that someday, but it ain't happened yet. So.."

Drying dishes can always wait
"Something that I procrastinate about a lot is drying the dishes. So if there's a lot of dishes that need to be dried, I definitely get them done as soon as possible. But if it is just one or two dishes that I've used for lunch or something. I always just let them drip dry. I don't really have a reason why. I'm just lazy. So yeah."

Procrastinating about starting a career

Healthcare is expensive
"Something that I often procrastinate about is taking care of my own medical health. I usually don't go to the doctor. Things like that. The reason being is that it's just too expensive and I don't have medical insurance. So you know, it's just something that unless it's like, kind of an emergency situation, all those little aches and all those little things that should be taken care of. I'm just like 'Nah! That'll be fine.' Until it's not. But yeah, I procrastinate about that."

For some, procrastination results in performance!
"I procrastinate about everything. It's bad, um I think that I tell myself that I perform better under pressure. Um, Sometimes I'm just like lazy, straight up and just don't want to do it until I have to do it. Um, but, yeah. That's probably the main two reasons. I feel like I perform well under pressure because I'm lazy."

Procrastination is real
"What's something I procrastinate about? Just absolutely everything, whether it be like schoolwork, or just all my little responsibilities and tasks I need to do. I will procrastinate them. Probably because I have, I feel like I have this internal clock that always keeps track of exactly how much time I need to get something done in like the smallest amount of time possible, but I can't start until I have just that time left. And then I finished it in time every time so."

Doing something for the first time
"When it comes to procrastination. It is always doing something for the first time. It could be a new recipe. It could be a new class. It could be driving for the first time. I literally procrastinated with driving for 10 years didn't get my license until it's 28. Or it could be something simple, like a recipe, and I'll procrastinate for, like, half an hour and then I'll finally jump into doing it for the first time. But then once I've done it for the first time, I'm fine. But it's always just.. yeah. I procrastinate over doing something new for the first time."

Stop procrastinating about writing that book!
"What do I procrastinate about? Hmm. That's always a very good question. Well, you know, I've been trying to write this book for forever. It seems like kind of like a pseudo-autobiography, but I just can never seem to get my ass in gear to make this happen. So I guess that would be something, my biggest procrastination. Don't worry. It will happen."

You might have to wait to get her answer
"What's something I procrastinate and why? I don't usually procrastinate, but if I ever procrastinate about something it's because I don't know how to answer it. So if someone asks me a confusing question or I don't know what to say, sometimes I procrastinate in answering. I eventually answer, but I just like to think about it first. I don't want to offend anyone. I want to make sure that I make the right choices. So that's something I procrastinate about once in a while, but not very often."
