are you sweating right up to the last minute?

If you’re waiting until the last minute to complete an assignment because you like that rush you get from being under pressure, and you think that’s when you do your best work, think again.

While it may be true that you’ll finish the work quicker because the pressure makes you move faster, is it that you’re finishing the work because you’ve done your best, or are you ending the work because you’ve run out of time? Did you have time to put the finishing touches on it, or did you raise the bar, taking your work to a new level? Probably not.

Instead, you threw something together, was satisfied with mediocre, took chances that nothing would go wrong, created a lot of unnecessary stress for yourself, and then plopped down to start procrastinating all over again.

If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done. Don't count the days, make the days count. As much as I hate completing things at the very last minute, I still have to finish where I started, agree?

I had Sumo House for dinner! It's been so long since I last ate Japanese food.
