Panic monster or strict planner?

Are you a "panic-monster" procrastinator who does their best work at 2:00 AM before a deadline, or a strict planner who can't sleep if things aren't done early? Some people thrive under chaotic, last-minute pressure, while others need a meticulous, step-by-step plan weeks in advance to function without anxiety. I would say that I’m a strict planner. I’m very meticulous and organised person. How about you guys? :)

I do my best work under pressure. But I'm not a panic monster who waits until the last minute to get started on something. I guess I'm somewhere in between the strict planner and the procrastinator.

@k_krist I do try to get things done before the deadline just so I don't enter into panic mode, but sometimes I push the boundaries and work right up until the deadline. But it's so much nicer when you can get the work done ahead of time and then be able to relax knowing the work is finished ahead of schedule.

@moffittjc that’s true. Like you can just chill and do other things when it’s done ahead of time. And you feel more satisfied.

Not a planner. I cram. Love the pressure. My brain works best when it's nearing the deadline.
