Is Being Productive Your Favorite Form of Procrastination?
I always joke that I’m never more productive than when I’m avoiding something. And I know I’m not alone out there!
How we respond to procrastination is actually tied to how we respond to expectations. The Four Tendencies is a personality framework developed by habits and happiness researcher Gretchen Rubin. As a Four Tendencies certified facilitator, I help teams and individuals nail follow-through. Discovering which of the Four Tendencies you are can unlock a whole new level of productivity.
Upholders thrive on meeting both inner and outer expectations, so they stick to schedules and deadlines.
Questioners excel when they understand the reasoning behind tasks, so they benefit from clear objectives and understanding the "why.”
Obligers need external accountability, so partnering with an accountability buddy or setting up regular check-ins can keep them on track.
And rebels, like me, resist expectations, so we flourish with autonomy and the freedom to choose how, when, and what we work on.
No matter your tendency, there are strategies to help you thrive. From creating structured routines to fostering accountability, understanding the Four Tendencies empowers you to work smarter, not harder.
