I’m the same way.

I have found that I’m pretty good at estimating the time it will take me to do something, just because I keep a mental note of past experiences.  As a result, if something is going to take three hours, I’ll wait until 10 pm to start so I don’t go past my 1 am bedtime.  OR, I may wait weeks (years) until both (1) the spirit (or Adderall) moves me and (2) I think I will have enough time to get the job done before I (a) get interrupted or (b) lose interest.  It’s sort of like waiting for a planetary alignment or something.

Note: They are apparently having more success in locating habitable exoplanets than I am at locating some of my tools needed to complete the task at hand.
