I am pretty good about staying on top of my work throughout the semester. Except at the very end of the semester. I have no idea why, but I always seem to lose motivation about a week earlier than I should. That obviously creates problems but yet again, there are definite advantages that result from my extreme urge to put off work: my room is clean; my cd-collection is back to its usual alphabetized order; my nails look almost-professionally done; another scarf is on its way to completion. If any of you have any ideas how to overcome serious bouts of procrastination, please send them my way. Seriously.

Haha, your experience right now is the mirror image of mine. My apartment is spotless, all my mail is sent, my cd's are in order, I've completed a new painting, checked the internet THOUSANDS of times...etc. I have a week to go as well...I'm in for it.
I can comment on my own procrastination, though that may not be relevant to your situation. With regard to both work and school deadlines, I'll typically have some innate sense of how long it will take to finish a job, study, or whatever is involved. Until there's a feeling of "now or never" pressure, it's often hard to focus, so I'll end up spending more time on something else that's fun or artistic. Then, once the pressure is really felt, even if it seems like I've waited too long, somehow the focus always returns, inventive shortcuts are found, and the work usually gets done on time with good quality. Of course, this can mean not getting enough sleep for a day or two as you're finishing up. Pacing yourself where you never have to wrap things up at the last minute is probably the healthier method. For some reason, I just seem to enjoy the other way more.
Sounds like me right now, Petya. Though that's no help in the way of advice, hopefully between me, you, and all of the other posts you no longer feel alone in your procrastination.

procrastinate now, dont put it off!
y'all...you're not supposed to tell me it's ok. you should tell me to get off my ass and start working NOW. :P
You have to set some priorities and get down to business, right this minute! Build a snowman, sing some carols, drink a tub of hot chocolate, and after a nice long nap do your schoolwork. Don't make me have to tell you again.
I use these when I'm having a problem with procrastination... Helps me arrange my priorities and gives me a sense of immediacy:
