I'm doing the same thing and I have a 4PM with my boss....

well no not really. I figured I needed an hour to get it done, so i did it 2 hours before. I finished it in 30 minutes, went over it with my team mate, and now have time to kill.

So instead of procrastinating in the beginning, I get it at the end, without the anxiety and angst that used to accompany the "rush" of the deadline.

It doesn't mean I'm perfect, by all means I'm not. It just means that as I have gotten older, I have decided to stop it when I notice it and what triggers it. I give myself "carrots" to help me along, like I work on it for 10 minutes, then get 15 minutes to do something that I want. I do that repetitively and I get best of both worlds.
