 why finish an essay weeks before, when you can write 3 pages worth of complex content in the span of 20 minutes, and finish the task 10 minutes before the deadline

relieved i got i done, but i don't understand how i can bring myself to that kind of performance level without that last minute panic 
 Nothing brings out creative fervor other than extreme deadline panic. 
 Like* not "other" 
 I found the same, and can't figure out how to do it. 

If I have 3 months for smth and start early, I spend 2 months working on it. But if I procrastinate untill to last month, i finish the job in 3 weeks 😂😂
