Procrastinator is my middle name

Sometimes I leave an assignment till the very last day. Of course, when that day comes I think, why didn't I give myself enough time? Most of the time, I procrastinate papers. Any other homework I have to do, I do it on a timely basis. I think that the main reason why I procrastinate papers is because there is so much to do, and it takes so much time to do them. Of course, if they take so much time, why not start early? Also, I tend to wait because i'm not interested in the material. I've always liked to write creative stories. Writing itself is not the problem, it's the boredom i'll be faced with. I find it very helpful to give myself small deadlines like,
1. Find your sources by monday.
2. Read them by Tuesday.....etc.
I like that approach, but i think in the future i would like to just write it all at once, and spend the rest of the time making it better.
