What Type of Procrastinator Are You?

Lifehacker has a useful flowchart from Dr. Joseph Ferrari of DePaul University, who has identified some basic types of procrastinators and identified solutions for each type.

Ferrari lists three procrastination archetypes:

• Thrill Seekers, who say they do their best work under pressure and are "probably fooling themselves"
• Solution: Complete a task ahead of time and "experience the thrill of finishing early"
• Avoiders, who seek to avoid blame and potential judgment on their strengths and weaknesses
• Solution: Keep a daily journal to help you challenge your thoughts
• Indecisives, who are paralyzed by the potential consequences of decisions, both positive and negative
• Solution: Keep the big picture in mind and move on once you've achieved your main goal.

It's a useful piece, and you'll likely recognize some of your own traits. (Your humble blogger, for example, is a classic Avoider.) Here's the infographic:
