Take this procrastination self-test from It’s About Time, by Dr. Linda Sapadin with Jack Maguire:

• Do you put off taking care of important things, jeopardizing relationships, career, finances, or health?
• Do you put off doing what you need to do until a crisis develops?
• Do you put off doing tasks unless you can do them perfectly or until you can find the perfect time to do them?
• Do you hesitate taking necessary action because you fear change?
• Do you think too much about things you’d like to do but rarely get around to doing them?
• Do you think that things will somehow just take care of themselves?
• Do you commit yourself to so many things that you can’t find time for many of them?
• Do you tend to do only what you want to do instead of what you should do?
• Do you tend to do only what you think you should do instead of what you want to do?
