Self-motivated majority of the time, some projects thought require a deadline for them to be given the priority they deserve.

I'm usually a self motivated person but when i see myself procrastinating i know it's anxiety setting in i like throwing myself into the deep end setting deadlines or putting something online that forces me into an uncomfortable spot where i have to figure something out a usual sink or swim scenario because the cure to anxiety is action for me

I do procrastinate and do self-motivate :) As I see it, procrastination is about conscious delaying of tasks performance and actively choosing something else to do, apart from the given task. But, frankly saying, I try to procrastinate within the deadlines scope - so personal or given deadlines help to get things done.

Don't see a contradiction here: one can be a self-motivated person but still procrastinate! (And I am a fine example of that).

To get anything done, you have to be able to motivate yourself. Self-motivation is the key to becoming more successful with your time and money.
Kate Dalessi
These are not mutually exclusive:) Do I motivate myself? Yes. Do I procrastinate? Yes. I would say, procrastination is the way our brain doubts the necessity of the actions we want to take. It's not a bad thing, that's our subconscious talking to us to let us know we're doing something - in its opinion - lame:)

I'm a mixture of both.😁
