Procrastination

The subject matter "procrastination" seems out of place here since I'm actually getting around to writing about it. Obviously from that statement I've been thinking about it for some time now and wonder if its actually procrastination I'm thinking, and now writing about.
Its like this. I have a strong bent toward waiting until the last minute to get things done. However, the truth is, even when I make valiant attempts to complete tasks ahead of time my concentration level is so poor I can't ever carry it out to finish the task. On the other hand, when working on a project at the last minute and the pressure is on my mind and my senses kick into over drive and its remarkable how well things fall into place. During crunch time second guessing myself is all but eliminated, tasks seem to flow with ease and I'm not really sure if the finished product would be any better had it been done in a more timely fashion.
So the question is, should I fight my tendency to procrastinate or should I use my work under pressure to my advantage? I don't really know the answer to this question but sometimes I just have to wonder. Maybe I ought to learn to discipline myself more effectively. Maybe... but not till later.
