I really wonder whether my brain has been challenging itself lately. It is almost like it knows that the deadline is looming, but decides to not let the attention span begin until the crunch is truly on and I have to work insanely to simply finish on time. It is almost like my subconscious competitive nature challenges me to start tasks later and later. Every successful hand-in under the wire almost encourages me to delay starting things just a little bit more the next time.

How to get out of this loop? I know, graduate!
