A procrastinator can tell you stories of waiting until the last day before a test and then going out drinking all night, coming home and passing out only to wake up in a panic an hour before the test and cramming as much information in as possible. I always make sure there is nothing good on TV before I sit down to work. Then, if my work area isn't clean, I clean it. Nothing fun can be going on while I am trying to study. These ideal conditions don't happen often.
Some circumstances require putting things off to the last minute .
This can work, but life is full of things people don't plan for. For example, I was supposed to turn this story in last Friday. I got bronchitis , and just as I started to feel better a friend of mine showed up in New Orleans. It was an unexpected visit because he lives in Wyoming. He drove from Tennessee to New Orleans on his way back to Wyoming and decided to stop in for a day to visit.
