I just completed a five-page analysis paper for my Critical and Cultural Theory class (English 313, if you were wondering) that I started yesterday afternoon and worked on diligently today since 3 (with breaks for coffee). It's due tomorrow afternoon, and I feel very confident about it.
For whatever reason I always work better when pressed with an imminent deadline than when I try to do things ahead of time. I could have started this about a month ago, but I've let it sit until the last possible minute to allow for the proper amount of urgency to set in. I just waste time if I try to do stuff any sooner. That's why I'm waiting until Thanksgiving break to get started on the composition project for Music Theory; I just haven't had the inclination to start it until then. This stuff always works out. I might pull an all-nighter trying to get it done in time, but I haven't gotten a bad grade on a procrastinated assignment yet.
The only thing that doesn't apply to is piano. In that case I have a tendency toward mental breakdowns if I don't get stuff memorized/comfortably in my fingers in plenty of time.... hmm.
