It occurs to me that procrastination is something that I do to make uninteresting tasks more interesting. Putting something off until the last possible minute flirts much closer to failure and generates excitement and motivation. Granted, I don't do this with course work, only rudimentary tasks. Your DD's learning abilities are waaay beyond mine. smile But I wonder if your DD has the same motivations for putting things off?

I do this All The Time. It's not wise, but it is.
Individuals with ADHD-ish profiles do this too, probably because they require the dopamine flood to activate executive functions.

Then consider GT/ADHD...
