Find out why you really procrastinate
Take this 2-minute quiz to uncover what’s actually stopping you from creating, and how to start with more ease and less pressure.
You’ve tried it all: setting deadlines, using reward charts and bullet journal trackers, scheduling your creative time like an official appointment – and yet you still struggle to actually create.
If you’ve started to wonder whether procrastination is just part of your personality (or whether you might be inherently lazy), stop.
Procrastination isn’t a character flaw – it’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe.
When your body sees creating as too risky, no amount of productivity hacks can override that.
But here’s the good news: once you understand why you’re avoiding your art and start helping your nervous system feel safer, creating becomes easier, less stressful, and even enjoyable.
That journey starts right now with the Creative Procrastination Type Quiz.
Answer 7 quick questions (2–3 mins) to:
✅ Discover the nervous system pattern behind your avoidance
✅ Learn why your brain resists creating (even when you want to create more than anything)
✅ Get gentle, doable next steps to finally get you creating, without pushing or pressure
You’ll also notice a few cats around the place. They’re here because looking at why we procrastinate can feel a bit tender, and it can help to have a furry friend along for the ride. Think of them as your emotional support cats! 🐈
What Type of Creative Procrastinator Are You?
Hi! I’m Gauri, Creative Wellbeing Coach 👋
I made this quiz because – like you – I used to beat myself up for not creating, even though I wanted nothing more than to just write.
Then I discovered that what I thought of as laziness was actually my nervous system trying to keep me safe.
This changed everything for me, and that’s why I’ve designed this quiz – to help you start to gently work with your nervous system so you can create with less pressure and more ease.
