I did that too, but not for that reason. I did it because if I started a report and stopped before it was finished, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Once I'm thinking about something that's all I can think about it till it's finished. So I figured I'd have to do it all at once or else I'd lose the focus I had. So, I'd do everything else first and wait to do the report last, research and all. Weird, but it worked for me.

Many a weekend has passed with me considering doing an assignment/writing a speech etc but then going socialising or getting distracted on the net.

Unfortunately, I am too organized to do that much. If I have something beg to do, I figure out by when it needs to be done and work a little on it along every day. I hate being stressed out by last minute things. I don't function well under pressure.

I'm a huge procrasinator. For projects, I start em late like 12:00 when they are due the next day. I'm even worse for homework, I do it when my teacher is going around to check if you did it. Heh, kinda fun.

But seriously, a procrasinator is just a person who works best under pressure.

Yeah, H I'm exactly the same. I need the pressure of the deadline to get me working. If I have a 30-hour project to do and have 4 weeks to do it, I'll leave it till the last week then start working on it about 1 hour a day and then work on it for 10 hours each on the 2nd to last and last days. I can't motivate myself with anything other than deadling pressure

and I hate myself for it, but that's the way it is...
