Q1: When you’re assigned a new project or task (with no immediate deadline), what are you most likely to do first?

C. Overthink every aspect of it – you worry you might not do it well, which strangely makes you delay getting started.

A. Find something else small or comfortable to do instead – you’ll tackle the big task later when you feel up to it

E. Start brainstorming or planning, but then second-guess the best approach so much that you don’t make tangible progress at first.

B. Intend to start it soon, but misplace the details or forget about it until it becomes urgent

D. Wait for more instructions or a reminder from someone in charge before you properly begin working on it.

Q2: What is your biggest challenge when it comes to finishing tasks or projects on time?

B. Keeping track of everything – your schedule or workspace is so chaotic that tasks slip through the cracks.

A. Staying focused – you’re easily drawn to more enjoyable or less stressful activities instead of the task at hand.

D. Motivating yourself without a push – unless there’s pressure from a deadline or someone else, you struggle to get going.

C. Believing in your abilities, you often delay because you’re not confident you’ll do the task right, so you put it off.

E. Making decisions – you spend too long choosing what to do or how to do it, and suddenly there’s not enough time to actually do it.

Q3: How do you usually plan and organise your work when you have a big goal or project?

A. “Plan? Erm… I just sort of wing it.” You prefer to dive in casually (and often end up doing easier tasks first to avoid the big stuff).

C. You draw up a detailed plan or checklist initially, but then feel overwhelmed or unsure and struggle to follow through with it.

E. You create a plan for sure, then immediately start questioning it. You revise the steps repeatedly instead of actually moving forward.

D. You wait for guidance – if someone provides a step-by-step plan or strict timeline, you’ll follow it, but on your own, you feel lost.

B. You attempt to make a plan, but it ends up scattered in various notes and apps – it’s hard to keep it all organised and on track.

Q4: When you’re procrastinating on an important task, what thought is most likely running through your mind?

C. “What if I mess this up? Better to delay starting than to do it wrong and fail.”

B. “Oh dear – I completely forgot about this! How did I let that slip?”

E. “I’m not sure of the best way to do this… I’ll decide how to proceed later once I’ve figured it out properly.”

A. “I just don’t want to deal with this right now. I’ll get to it when I’m in the right mood.”

D. “Maybe if I wait a bit, someone will show me an easier way or help me out with this.”

Q5: Think about the last time you nearly missed (or actually missed) a deadline. What was the main reason?

B. You lost track of time (or lost some crucial materials). Things got so disorganised that the deadline sneaked up on you.

D. You were waiting for input, approval, or just the last-minute adrenaline. By the time you finally sprang into action, it was too late.

A. You kept putting it off because you simply didn’t want to face it, and suddenly time was up – whoops!

E. You couldn’t make a final decision or commit to a course of action, so nothing substantial happened until the clock ran out.

C. You were caught in a loop of doubt and perfectionism – rewriting or redoing the work over and over until you ran out of time.

Q6: You’ve got a really unpleasant or daunting task to do (imagine filing long-overdue paperwork or making a difficult phone call). How do you handle it?

B. You might give it a go, but you get sidetracked because you don’t have all the info or tools handy (and you never got them prepared). It gets postponed again.

E. You agonise over the perfect way or time to do it. In the end, you spend more time deliberating than it would have taken to just do the task.

C. You dread it and keep thinking you’ll handle it later when you feel more confident. (Spoiler: that confidence never comes, and the task keeps lingering.)

A. You find anything else to do instead – suddenly cleaning the flat or scrolling your phone feels urgent, as long as it’s not that task.

D. You put it off, hoping someone else will do it, or that it might magically become unnecessary. If all else fails, you wait until it’s absolutely urgent.

Q7: How do you typically handle your to-do list on a busy day with lots of tasks waiting?

E. You spend a lot of time figuring out the perfect order of tasks. You might start one thing, then switch to another, unsure if you chose the right one. By day’s end, several important tasks are half-finished.

D. You usually react to whoever is shouting the loudest. If your boss or a client is asking for something, that gets done, but your own priority tasks languish until someone checks on them.

C. You tend to do the tasks you feel most confident about, and delay the ones where you’re not sure you’ll succeed (those intimidate you, so they stay undone).

A. You tackle the small, easy or fun tasks first and push the tough or boring tasks to last (and sometimes they don’t get done at all).

B. “To-do list?” You jot tasks on random sticky notes or just keep it in your head. You end up doing things in a haphazard order and forget a few along the way.
