(1) Michelle says:

I procrastinate because everyone around me keeps changing the definition of the deliverable — or doesn’t think abou it until after I have worked hard to try ot meet my understanding of what they wanted. I really hate wasting my time and my work.

ALso, sometimes I look like I am procrastinating while I am actually processing in background — whe I get started, I have already worked it out in my mind — even when it looked like I was doind nothing — thinking IS a real task!
