    Some begin with any step that takes ≤2 minutes to create momentum.
  • 2
    Write the next action
    Others note the first concrete action to reduce ambiguity.

    Match task to energy
    Some align higher-effort tasks with naturally higher-energy times.

What to Expect From Our Procrastination Test

Assessment Structure

30 designed items consider six drivers sometimes linked with delays: clarity (how well tasks are defined), task aversion (how unpleasant they feel), time perception (estimating and planning), energy (available capacity), perfectionism (concern about imperfect outcomes), and impulsivity (susceptibility to distractions). Indicate how often each statement fits you to create a personal snapshot. Responses generate an overall level and a domain profile for educational insight.

No Timer, Low Pressure

Expect to spend about 5–7 minutes. There’s no countdown—move at a steady pace and answer based on your typical experience. The assessment works on phones, tablets, and computers using modern browsers. A quiet spot can help, but accuracy is more important than speed.

Instant Overview

After completion, you’ll see an immediate summary of your level with a clear and accessible explanation of what it means. Your results not only highlight example routines and common strategies but also provide reflection prompts designed to help you connect the insights to your own daily experiences. The aim is to give you a balanced picture that feels both personal and practical, so you can recognize familiar patterns and consider new perspectives. Everything is carefully aligned to the response pattern you showed during the test, ensuring the feedback is relevant and meaningful to your situation.

Clarify Your Primary Friction

Procrastination often reflects a mismatch between tasks and current conditions. This assessment highlights patterns—such as low clarity, low reward, perfectionism, or time perception—to give you a neutral framework for reflection.

  • ● Short “starter ideas” related to each pattern
  • ● Strategy examples for adjusting environment and focus
  • ● Reflection prompts to help you notice recurring habits

What else adds little clarity in the long run?

  • One takeaway coffee + pastry
  • A month of an app you never open
  • Random gadget destined for a drawer
  • A trinket that won’t change your habits

Instead, choose a framework that helps you notice patterns and plan meaningful next steps.
