Are you a very productive person? Or is it rare for you to get motivation? Is there something that helps you to get into a productive mood?

When faced with a task, do you like to quickly get it out of the way or do you leave it to the last moment? Do you often miss or meet deadlines?

It really depends what that task is. Sometimes I get the ups and downs of motivation and sometimes it hits me like a brick. For some reason it is usually when I eat or drink something that gives me motivation.
When I want to be motivated into doing something Art-wise, I usually eat at the same time xD

I am very productive when it comes to getting some kind of reward in the end. Otherwise I don't care.

When faced with a task, do you like to quickly get it out of the way or do you leave it to the last moment? Do you often miss or meet deadlines?
I never miss deadlines. I like to spread it out. If I have a project due in a month, I will do a little bit every day and make it so I will finish a few days before it's due.
Keep being amazing.

Are you a very productive person? Or is it rare for you to get motivation? Is there something that helps you to get into a productive mood?: I'm somewhere between productive and unproductive. My productivity depends on my environment, such as having a computer.

When faced with a task, do you like to quickly get it out of the way or do you leave it to the last moment? Do you often miss or meet deadlines?: I get it out of the way first, but I've been leaning on procrastination, making me miss deadlines occasionally.

Oh God I'm terrible with being motivated and productive, especially with school work. I'm the kind of person that leaves things until the last minute, although I'm going to try to change that as soon as I can.

...when I get the motivation to do so anyway. I wish I knew how to get into a productive mood but really I can't find a way yet because I find it too easy for my own good to simply shrug things off and say "I don't really care tbh".

I do hit deadlines most of the time, but mainly because I rush stuff. This doesn't go very well with the perfectionist side of me which I mentioned in another thread and puts quite a lot of pressure on me which is my own fault but is really unhelpful all the same. :x

I used to be a motivated and productive person. I did amazingly in school, came first in everything I did, I loved it and I thrived etc. But then I graduated and started going to university - one semester there basically trashed everything good about me and my motivation :P Now, two years later... it still hasn't come back. But I'm waiting :P

I usually need to have motivation in order for me to make any progress, but once I have that motivation, I am very productive and make sure that I get the things that I need to get done done. It's just getting me started that I have a problem with. Sometimes I have the motivation to do something if it's something that's very important to me, but most of the time, that motivation just isn't there until I find it - which takes a while.

I'm very rarely in a productive mood, but when i get into one i'm like wild fire just blazing through everything that i've wanted to do. This usually lasts from a few hours to a week :D

When faced with a task, do you like to quickly get it out of the way or do you leave it to the last moment? Do you often miss or meet deadlines?
I always say to myself "ok, i'm gonna start this today and get it out of the way early" but then then i get distracted by my computer, or friends, or that moth thats walking along the window and i end up rushing everything just before the deadling D:
As for meeting them though something always seems to come up and stop me from meeting it :( the sheer amount of times my computer has bust and i've lost all my work or my printer has decided its going to omnomnom on the paper nobody believes it happens anymore D:

I try to finish them as fast as possible to get it out of the way, but certain times I don't want to do them so I procrastinate.

I'm not a super productive person. I find it hard to be motivated to do things. As such, I'm a major procrastinator. It takes me forever to get the drive to do things, usually, until it's right down to the wire. I work well under pressure and the adrenaline rush I get from "OH GOD NOT GONNA MAKE IT ON TIME" usually lets me complete things alright. But it's such a bad habit to break out of, especially with how often I get away with it.

I need a really good kick in the butt to do pretty much anything, but if I get that motivation I'll do some pretty quality work. Generally, that kind of motivation comes in the form of a deadline - I work really well under pressure (like the day before a project is due) because I'm a massive procrastinator. It's not a good thing really, I'd much rather do things ahead of time and plan better but I don't get the kick in the butt I need to get things done that way.

I used to be really productive, but not as much anymore. I'm still productive if it's something I'm interested in, but otherwise I'm not as motivated to do things as I was back in school. It might have something to do with me feeling like I have less energy in general, though.

At home, I rarely get motivated to do anything. :/ You can tell because the apartment is always a mess. I'm like that with my writing, too, or even video games; I'll be like "I should do this today" but then I never get around to it. I've really got to push myself to get anything done. I have to find ways to reward myself to get it done.

At work, knowing that I need money keeps me going. :) I aim to impress there and am almost always super motivated! I wish I could keep that attitude in the rest of my life.

For the most part, I'm a procrastinator. I do things as late as late as possible. It was such a pain during school...

Are you a very productive person?
Whenever I want to be ;)


Or is it rare for you to get motivation?
It's easy for me whenever I want to

Is there something that helps you to get into a productive mood?
Yeah, Reeses and other various junk foods...or even a Pokemon doll

When faced with a task, do you like to quickly get it out of the way or do you leave it to the last moment?
I get it out the way as soon as possible so I can be lazy later on

Do you often miss or meet deadlines?
I always make the deadline before hand
