... add to that the fact that I am extremely good at what I do, and what should take me a week only takes a focused patch of about 3-4 hours ... so I know I can leave something until the absolute last minute, and still get it done.

Which is a TERRIBLE stress-maker for me. I know I have this project. I know it will take me 2-4 hours to do it. I know I have three weeks to do it. So I will put it off - constantly beating myself up for not doing it - for two and a half weeks, then finally do it.

Bleh. Terrible way to work.

similar feels here... not that I'm particularly good at my job... but that I can tell something will only take X amount of time, so I end up putting some it off in favor of something I want to do.

I'm trying to change that though.
