Hi, I'm just wondering, am I the only one on the face of this planet that is eternally grateful for this gem of time?

If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done!

I've finally quit beating myself up for waiting till the last minute to complete (or start) something.....the next step is to train myself to get something started and well under completion way before the last minute gets here!

(yeah, like THAT's ever gonna happen)

Am I the only one who does this or are there any fellow commiserates?

Last minute is my best friend! It's when the most manages to get accomplished! I'm still trying to get an introduction to ahead of time ;)

I'm hoping to not be finishing Christmas gifts at the last minute this year. Of course, that would be more feasible if I didn't wait until the last minute to start! :)

You want a head of time? I'd settle for a body of silence, a leg up, a hand out, or something else to that effect!

If it weren't for the "last minute" I wouldn't EVER get a project done! I've known my nephew was engaged since Christmas & the shower is in a few, make that 2(!) weeks, & I think I just decided what to make! LOL! I guess I'm just one of those people that can only be creative when the pressure is on! (you too???)

I find I do my best work "under pressure" of a deadline, re: mom was coming on Friday for long weekend, wanted to make a bag for her for mother's day. Bought pattern, charm pack, batting/stabilizer ready to go, right? Well, I made it on Thursday before she got here, stayed up til "all hours" finishing it :) :) :) P.S. She loves the bag.

I do my best work at the last minute! My hubby can not for the life of him understand the concept, but that is the way it has always been, and I don't expect it's ever going to change!

not me. I was the student everyone hated--my papers were done way ahead of time. That gave me the ability to edit with "new eyes"! though,I do work best when I have lots to do and am under pressure.
