Do you plan your day, or do you prefer to ‘see what happens? A planner will spend the:
night before work making lists, prioritising, and making sure everything is under control.
They arrive early and get started on their first task. A procrastinator, on the other hand,

1- generally do things ahead of time or leave things until the last minute?
2- prefer to get started on a difficult job or put off doing difficult jobs until later?
3- Tend to get distracted easily and waste time or do you use your time wisely and
get things done?
