While I may cause myself to lose a lot of sleep because I often make a conscious effort to wait until the last minute, I must say that I am good at procrastinating. I am most definitely a "works best under pressure" kind of gal. I've always been this way. I really really tried to keep myself from doing this in grad school, but it hasn't worked. I am still waiting until the last minute to do assignments, because I know my brain will not work until I am absolutely forced to concentrate on something. Its that "ooh shiny!" complex I seem to have obtained in my formidable years.
I say all of this because its almost 1 am and I just started reading/writing for an article review (due tomorrow) at about 10:30ish tonight. I'll have the final product ready to turn in after a coworker reads it over. I was kicking myself for waiting to do this until so late, but now I'm pleased. I mean, I know this is how I work and I know I'm not really able to change it. I also know that I do very quality work in a few hours that could take others weeks. Sometimes I just wish I could change for my health. Staying up late to do work the night before stuff is due isn't good for me. I really need my sleep. With that said, goodnight!
