You also need to determine if you are the kind of person that works better under pressure.

I am not. I do projects as soon as I can (I'm done with a project for a class that is due in March). However, girls I went to college with would start a project at 11 o'clock the night before because they felt they worked better under pressure.

I couldn't do that. Setting up a schedule and sticking to it is about all you can do. Can you work on a project with someone? That way they could keep you on track? Not do the project as a group, but work individually on your project together. Does that make sense? lol
