This is not a good skill to have

I don't cope well with the stress of knowing there's something I should have done but haven't, so because of this, I don't procrastinate much at all. Except about the washing I was supposed to do yesterday, but it's not going anywhere, and there's only me home, so who cares right?

When I was at Uni, I used to get started on most of my papers the day i got the question and I'd usually have my first draft done within a week. I liked having most of the hard work done early so I didn't have to worry too much when the due date came in.

Interestingly, I used to get better marks for my exams where an essay was required. I sometimes think I probably should have just handed in my first drafts instead of refining them.

Bullit, I was like that in school, too. I think every paper I ever wrote was done the night before. I'd stagger in all sleep deprived from an all nighter, hand my opus in and get an A. Being a procrastinator doesn't work so well in the rest of my life, though, and its a really bad habit for me. I advise trying to modify the behavior before you get old and set in your evil ways like me.
