Refer to Newbie's post about procrastination. But just to give you peace of mind, we have all done this. Personally, I have never started a paper until the night before. I have finished a 7 and 10 page paper in one night. For us procrastinators,that extra pressure helps us get things done. But if you really are looking for a cure, keep a date book. Schedule an hour or so on a day to work on that paper. Stay offline and keep your TV off. Or schedule a fake due date for yourself a week in advance. If you're like me, you will forget the date it was due and when you look at that date book, you will make sure to get that paper done the night before! When you remember the real due date, you will be pleasantly surprised.
