E se eu criasse três alter-egos procrastinadores?

There's more than one flavor of procrastination. People procrastinate for different reasons. Dr. Ferrari identifies three basic types of procrastinators:
  • arousal types, or thrill-seekers, who wait to the last minute for the euphoric rush.
  • avoiders, who may be avoiding fear of failure or even fear of success, but in either case are very concerned with what others think of them; they would rather have others think they lack effort than ability.
  • decisional procrastinators, who cannot make a decision. Not making a decision absolves procrastinators of responsibility for the outcome of events.

  3. banana: Assim não haveria alter-egos.

    Babs: Eu era só os últimos dois até à faculdade. Estive a pesquisar procrastinação durante a época de exames (sim, muito irónico e coisas), e um tal politécnico da California percebe-me:
    «Barely completed in time, the paper may actually earn a fairly good grade; whereupon the student experiences mixed feelings: pride of accomplishment (sort-of), scorn for the professor who cannot recognize substandard work, and guilt for getting an undeserved grade. But the net result is reinforcement: the procrastinator is rewarded positively for his poor behavior. (“Look at the decent grade I got after all!”) As a result, the counterproductive behavior is repeated over and over again.»
