SNAPlife: Waiting To The Last Minute Can Teach You Important Lessons - s...

As a rule, waiting until the last minute is considered a bad thing by most people. But, is it?

Some people have a personality that works with last minute behaviors. They are able to, in the last hours, pull things together and have good results. They have the personality that works well under pressure, relying on past experiences and knowledge to champion a task through in the end.

People who have this personality are just the kind of people who step up in a crisis and get through it as if nothing out of the normal was going on. They have, over the courses of their lives, created so many crisis by waiting to the last minute that one more problem has little affect on them. One more "do or die" situation appears… What's the big deal?

While waiting until the last minute is not a great habit to get into, people who have lived their lives in that way for a long time develop approaches to problem situations that tend to be effective. They have, thus, developed skills and techniques that work "in a pinch," so when the crisis hits, they are very able to handle it.

People with the personalities that work well waiting to the last minute very likely possess the capability to be highly effective in the times when the wheels come off. They are the types of people who can walk up on a situation, take in a lot of information quickly, and launch into a course of action.

While it is probably better to not procrastinate, there is value in what can be learned by waiting to the last minute to successfully get things done.
