Are you a procrastinator, or maybe more of an "incubator"?
I was reading an article in Choice magazine (of professional coaching) entitled "Coaching & Positive Psychology: a perfect match", and stumbled on this brief vignette about procrastination vs. "incubation".
Author Robert Biswas-Diener defines incubators as...
..."people who work best under the structure of deadline; they let ideas percolate and then, intuitively, they move into action at the eleventh hour and consistently produce work of a superior quality. This is more than a feat of verbal gymnastics, it describes an actual work style that is different from that of the typical procrastinator's."
AHA!!! Makes sense!
Or.... maybe we procrastinate in order to incubate? :)
