I'm a "last-minute" person. Getting
things done ahead of time isn't my thing. Mostly it's because I'm scared of not
getting it right.
And
it's true: I often hold off on a project because I'm worried that I won't get
it done. So I don't do it at all, worrying myself into inaction.
The up side is that I tend to be more flexible and
spontaneous than others, able to think quickly and punt as necessary. Waiting
till the last minute lets me get in totally up to date info. I get a kick - a
frisson - out of the will-I-won't-I finish game.
On the other hand, this kind of thing drives me
crazy. Frequent "winging" doesn't let me marinate in my thoughts,
gently editing or adjusting as needed. And it makes other people feel frantic
and worried.
Don't get me wrong: eventually I get things done
and quite well, too, I might add.
But is it worth the chaos?
Yeah, I don't think so either.
