When you have a deadline, is it better to get it done early or last minute when it needs to be done?

[Red2003]

For the most part, I get things done early, except for little details when it has to be done.

A deadline is a deadline & if you are going to do something do it right, take your time but don’t take too much time or you will miss the deadline.

I feel if you rush that is when mistakes happen but if you get it done early you can go back & check your work before you turn it in.

As for doing things last minute I’ll admit I wrote some really wonderful papers in school the night before.

What if it’s about cleaning the house?

Better to get it done early and not think about it. Unfortunately I'm usually the last minute type

[purplepoppy]

Last minute. If you do it too early they give you more work

[FreyaRed]

Early, however it's not always possible due many factors I don't have influence on.

[lilBigPotato]

Early of course, but I like you procrastinate.

[OneViewpoint]

Get on it early. Stuff happens. Why cause yourself stress?

[Abbycado]

I get it done. I don’t like things hanging over my head.

[DarKnight36]

The best time is now; I don't put things off until tomorrow

I get to work right away.

do it early. You never know what can go wrong.

[Iron_Man]

It’s better to get it done immediately so you don’t have to sweat the load at the last second

[Nikki1989]

I get things done ASAP.

[Danny_dan92]

Get it done in a timely manner

[jahaims]

Depends on what it is
