Hey, I never get any inspiration until the "last minute." Drives Hubby totally crazy 'cause he doesn't run that way. Some of my best work has been done at midnight, the night before.

Wishing all of my time would be as productive as "the last minute".

There is no last minute. There is only it's done! A dear friend in the defining management minute of my life caught me spinning my wheels over all I had to do. She said, "Holli, when have you ever not gotten it done that it really mattered?" Talk about perspective! And it's always (somehow) gotten done. . .I just don't fret over it anymore!

Also work best in the last minute but it does stress some people out. My duaghter wanted me to make her prom dress a couple years ago, her only requirement was that it was finished 5 days BEFORE the prom.

Oh yes, last minute, do it under pressure. Is there any other way??

Hand raised here. I wait till the last minute and seem to do my best work that way. Of course my "best" would be sad compared to the beautiful quilts I see on the Board.

Just finished the projects that needed to be done this month (anniversary and birthdays) and cant seem to figure out which to get started on. Have several planned for Christmas gifts - but that seems too far away. Just can't get myself to start cutting and sewing them. Guess I need to get closer to "the last minute" and then I will be in panicsville.

I have been a last minute person most of my life so I very much understand this. I wonder if we just work better under pressure.

Even if I do manage to get started ahead of time - I tend to put it away about half done - and drag it back out at the last minute. Hubby gets all uptight about it -- but he's just as bad as I am.

Isn't that what "last minutes" are made for??? Last minute - panic mode - things get done, don't they? :)
