Whenever i have tasks that needs to be done, i am restless, until i have done them. So, as much as possible,i would have it done right away. I don't want to leave things for tomorrow if i can do it now. Sometimes, when i have some works to be done for tomorrow, i just cannot sleep well at night, thinking of the things to be done. The next day, i would really work on them until they are done. Only then, can i relax.

If i have a task to do I like to do it while it is still fresh in my mind. putting it off makes the chances of succeeding in the task that much greater. If a task is pushed too far behind it just becomes a chore.

Yes, that's very true. Sometimes, we have to put our ideas into work while it's still fresh. Doing it in another day, to me would mean having some chips off my earlier brighter ideas.

That is a great strategy--I too am a workaholic, but also a procrastinator, so I end up doing twice as much work, because I will take on extra work to avoid having to do the one thing that is really required but that I just don't want to do. . .and then I end up working even harder to get it done at the last minute! So, consequently, I never feel like I can relax. . .I really should prioritize better and just get things done in order!

True, learn to prioritize your tasks.

Hi SimplyD Am I that kind of a workaholic? Nah. I am a lazy guy. But I know what tasks are important and would complete them first before finding my laziness to creep in. The other non-priority tasks can always be done tomorrow. Not a great thing I know, but it is what I am. Should I try to change?

Well, as long as you have done those tasks that have deadline, then it's okay to have it your style. Your style is a mixture of work and some leisure. Me, it's all work first, then leisure afterward.

Since i was a kid, it was my habit of having my duties at home done first before playing. Until now, that attitude remains with me. I don't want to cram, just in case the task went wayward. At least, if i did it ahead of time, i would still have time to revise some errors if there are any.

I am just like you Simly D! I just don't like procrastinating specially at work. I really want it to get done so I can have my free time at Mylot. I feel restless when I don't do it right away. I have always been this way, way back when I was still in school. I try to finish my homework first before I play. I usually do this so just in case I need to revise it, I don't have to cram and I have lots of time to do it.

That's true, doing things ahead of time, still gives you time to review of what you have done. Then, should you wish to make it more nicer, you have time to revise it, much more , if there are some errors for corrections.

Yah your right SIMPLYD. Task that need to be done is need to be done right away. I don't have Alzheimer co'z I'm too young to have it but my memory sometimes failed me to do some needed task if i did not do it immediately. Also the "maniana" habit sometimes failed me to do the things. I sometimes say I will do it afterward until the time pass and I'm busy to other works 'till I forget to do the first things I needed to do. Now I have this little secretary on my pocket that remind me on time what I need to do. This little scheduler help me a lot.

Yes, a scheduler is a great help in doing all the things needed to be done without forgetting some. In my case , I always have my cellphone remind me by its alarm, of the things that needs to be done.
