Are You a Plodder?

Some people take a long time to finish a task. They may be a perfectionist or merely slow at everything they do, or easily distracted. At work, they can be a sloppy plodder - slow and unreliable and inconsistent. Or they may be a perfect plodder, producing polished flawless work three months past the deadline. Here are some characteristics to look out for in yourself.

Before making a decision do you need to be fully informed about the subject?


Do you often return home empty-handed from shopping, not having found exactly what you were looking for? For example, you need to find a birthday card. You examine every card in the shop but can't find one you're happy with, so give up.

Do you often miss deadlines, or are late for appointments? You might feel it's more important to get something right than to finish in time. Or you might prefer to distract yourself and procrastinate rather than focus on what you should be doing.
