Yeah, for sure. Everyone on my team knows that when shit goes down, I'm a steady hand in the storm.
My problem is just when shit isn't going down, I'm like "fuck this shit, smooth sailing! Why would I continue to plan when I could be browsing reddit?".
You could spend 20-40+ hours working on a traditional plan and solution over 2 weeks or you can let the stress and adrenaline hit to gitrdun in 5-10 hours.
edit: bit of "man maths" later and those are a lot of tasty hours saved to spend on reddit, gaming, nothing
Holy shit, are you watching me? That's pretty much the standard MO.
Do nothing for weeks, start feeling really bad about everything (mostly I start feeling like I'm being paid way too much and basically do nothing). Finally a deadline approaches and I hammer that shit out, then look at what I've done and say "damn I'm good".
Then repeat the entire process. It's not great for the psyche, but it's a hell of a ride.
This is me in college. Fucking behind in say, Differential Equations, for weeks.
Finals week comes around and I need an 18/20 to pass the class, but the exam is after another exam that I need to study for. I end up paranoid and stressed for the DQ exam, to the point I can't even sleep enough for the 1st exam. I do the first exam on 1 hour of sleep, wait for adderall to wear off, then sleep from 12 Noon to 8PM, and then study until 11AM the following morning, fucking lit the whole time.
Ended up getting a 23/20 thanks mostly to extra time on the exam.
