I can somewhat relate to this story... especially the part about procrastination: Even back at school i could not bring myself to do homework or home-projects on time, there were entiry years where i did no homework (at home) at all. I did the homework on the train to school or before class (and it turned out most times really well). A teacher at some time told me "You are unbelievable lazy... but sadly to intelligent to throw you out". So, this carried on to my professional life, even today i always procrastinate up to the last possible moment to then work my ass off to finish a project right at the deadline. The anxiety thing is another of this really annoying things i can also relate to: At the moment i have two calls i SHOULD have made last week... nothing dramatic, just some status updates with a vendor... but since last wednesday i keep pushing the matter to the next day. Why? I have no f**ing idea.
I think i can be really happy to work at the place i am at. As the "Head of IT" for this company i can (mostly) manage to somehow juggle the problematic things around so that things (mostly) turn out well.
- Biganon 5y agoProcrastination has nothing to do with being lazy. What a terrible professor.
- muttled 5y agoI've wondered about this. My thought is that it's easy to push things off that are boring. But once that boring thing presents an immediate consequence, it's no longer boring. Adrenaline kicks in, you fix the problem, back to waiting for the fire alarm.
- RalfWausE 5y agoYes, this sounds somewhat logical... if i think about this: Under stress i am really, really good at what i do, but under "normal" circumstances? Mostly mediocre to really bad.
