I can identify with this post ... (Score 1)

... I do have a similiar working habit as described by the sender of the toplevel post. Tomorrow is again a deadline so I will keep it short.

I just started to realize that doing things in the last possible moment gives me a thrill that I really do love. Nothing seems to me more boring than knowing the course of things days in advance.

I had times were I made myself miserable because I believed I was doing wrong and not performing well, but there is never more motivation to be efficient and innovative other than when the breath of the beast is really close so to speak. And I am highly effective this way, as I start to learn to watch for the right moment to do things, and then hit them hard with precision.

Preparation and caution are necessary to survive, please do not forget that as there are also things out there that hunt us...
