    I used to be that way, but then I realized how stressful it is to procrastinate. Now i'm a plan-ahead kind of gal. When I had to write papers in grad school, I always tried to finish them a week before they were due. Then, while my fellow students were burning the midnight oil trying to get their papers in on time, I'd say, "oh, that old thing?" No wonder I didn't win any popularity contests!

    I had a stressful job for 30 years and I don't like my hobby to be stressful too. I don't like doing things under pressure. I plan and try to do things ahead of time :)

    I have been famous for doing that too!!! The last few years I have worked harder on working on some of my gifts much earlier in the year!!! Saying that I have yet to start one this year!! LOL

    amen...I was told the same thing about myself....AND WAS TOLD that I should get all the other odds and ends done and up to date...so I would feel free to express myself happily AT THE LAST MINUTE. Made a WORLD of difference in the mind set of this thought.

    My best friend has a habit of doing this. She prioritizes then reprioritizes and the the time slips up and she's in trouble. She also suffers from OMT!

    She's always late because she always thinks she can do just ONE MORE THING before she needs to leave the house!

    Me, I'm more of a procrastinator which is why there are so many UFO's and WIPs in my house. If found one the other day I didn't even remember I had started it!
