I'm a massive procrastinator also. 

Your post may explain why I was always good at math though. The normal version of good at math, not the SN version where people do complex equations for fun.

My middle school math teacher told us that mathematicians are very lazy. That's why they prefer short clever proofs over longer brute force proofs.

I tend to be on a different flip side of this, but it's the same idea. I tend to procrastinate on projects that I know need to get done eventually. The result, though, is that once the deadline is close enough, I focus on the task until it's done and ultimately do a better job in less time.
