Continuous forms
Are these underlined continuous forms correct? The sentences below should describe procrastination in general, that's why I have doubts, as continuous forms usually point to activities in progress.
1) Many procrastinators would love to be doing their jobs over a course of two weeks rather than get down to work three hours before the deadline.
2) Lack of organization is connected with things procrastinators are not doing (which they are supposed to be doing), and lack of self-discipline is connected with things they are doing (which they are supposed to limit).
