I’m starting to learn I enjoy small, last minute projects over larger long-deadline ones. I just find that I tend to procrastinate the long projects and then fail to the in my best work because I didn’t give myself enough time. Can anyone else relate to this? How do you avoid the urge to procrastinate?

I have often found that I work well when I'm up against deadlines. And when a deadline is quite distant I find it easy to slack off a bit and not really give it my best effort. So in a funny way, being right up against a deadline on a short-term project probably does bring out the best in me. Having said that, I realize I need to work on my time management when it comes to longer term projects.

Exactly me. I feel like I am only motivated by lack of time and it’s a character flaw at this point

I can appreciate where you are coming from. Personally, I prefer the longer projects. Time to get all the details and see the improvements as we go.

I can relate to this. It's not so much that I have a desire to procrastinate, I just always seem to function better when I'm working on a tight deadline. It's like my brain considers anything more than a week out to be a tomorrow problem. I should make more of an effort to stay on top of my workload, but it's hard to make myself when procrastination has worked well enough for me so far.

Completely agree with you!! I have adhd so this suits me so much better than long projects. I can focus so much better

May be worth checking! Makes so much sense now I know I have it
