Have you been this kind of a person who procrastinates a lot; and then, when the dead line comes close, panics and starts to work like crazy, just to finish the project on time?
Story of my life. It goes something like that:
‒ Oh, look, a new project! This time I'm going to spread out the work evenly and I won't get stressed at the end.
‒ Oh, so there's enough time then? Let's watch a movie.
‒ But I have to draw now!
‒ Yeah, no, you'll do it later. Let's rearrange the wardrobe instead.
‒ But the deadline is coming REALLY close now!
‒ Don't worry so much. Now, let's volunteer for this Harry Potter event.
‒ Well, all right but then I'm starting drawing.
‒ Yeah, yeah. Oh, look, a new movie came out!
‒ ...
‒ (does everything but working)
‒ Ahem!
‒ What? Don't you like how I cleaned the house?
‒ Tomorrow. The deadline is tomorrow.
‒ What?! But we're not ready!!!
‒ Oh, really? You don't say!
‒ WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?! WE'RE NOT READY!!!
‒ Start drawing and don't sleep?
‒ AAAAAAAHHHH! (drawing, crying, having head and wrist ache)
‒ OK, we're ready now. Phew!
‒ But I don't like some of the stuff we put up...
‒ Well, there's no time to correct it. What's done is done.
‒ (sulking)
‒ Oh, look, a new project! This time I'm going to spread out the work evenly and I won't get stressed at the end.
So, are you the procrastinating type? And how do YOU cope with the stress? :)
P.S. This is one of the illustrations I made for a client's story book. Look forward to the other ones in the coming days.
