Is productivity your middle name? You love checking things off your to-do list, planning ahead and keeping life organized. Making order of the world keeps you calm and grounded, and helps you avoid working in a last-minute flurry.

You also rely on trusted tools to get stuff done - which is why you’ll love these productivity apps… if you’re not already using them! http://www.goodnet.org/articles/6-best-productivity-apps-to-start-new-year-list

Productivity is not really your cup of tea - and in your creative field that’s probably a good thing! You tend do get things done best when your creative juices are flowing - and that’s often late at night when everyone else has gone to sleep. While this sometimes affects your ability to meet deadlines, getting a perfect result is the most important thing to you.
Coworking spaces can be a great solution for creative professionals who thrive on inspirations from peers. Check out this list to find a good fit for you: http://www.goodnet.org/articles/7-sites-to-find-you-perfect-coworking-space-list
THE LAST MINUTE MAVEN

You need pressure to get things done. Whether it’s an important project for your big boss or a college paper, your best work happens in the days and hours before a deadline - time after time. Nonetheless, you have 100% faith in your own work, and know you'll do a great job once you get it done.
The only trouble is, this style can leave you and your colleagues frazzled and can make long-term planning somewhat difficult.
As with most behavioral changes, the first step is awareness. Next time a big assignment lands on your lap, remember this tendency of yours, and break the project into smaller tasks with intermediary deadlines.
