    Default Finishing with time to spare

    I finished my review yesterday with four whole days to spare. When was the last time you finished something early? What was it? What did you do with the free time?

    I'm using it to work on a side project I've been holding off for a while.

    In my line of work finishing early means something went wrong. So, I try to never finish early. And if I do it ends up taking longer since then I must figure out what went wrong.

    I've been finishing comic pages ahead of time recently. All I do in times like that is... continue on to the next page!

    Yeah, I work best when I wait 'till the last possible minute.

    Unless it's like rolling silverware and cleaning my section and crap in a restaurant. I get all of that done as early as possible so'z I can skip my happy on outta work as soon as I get cut.

    I get stuff done early a lot. Like one semester I handed in all my assessment a full month before it was due. Other times it has been a couple weeks. I got other trout to do man, might as well get that out of the way so I can do fun things

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    When I'm done at work I go home :P

    .....except lately because the receptionist has been giving me rides to work since my car is a POS. Then I usually end up poking around on FB on my phone.

    I've been finishing my writing prompts early!

    I like to finish things with time to spare so I stress less, but that doesn't always work out for me.

    In school, I never finished with more than a few hours to spare really, but I always got my stuff done on time. The exception would be lesson plans while student teaching, and even those were getting done the night before I would teach them a lot of the time.

    When ever I do finish an assignment in school early, I just relax for a bit and look around for other stuff that needs to be done. It's better to get it all out of the way quickly, before they start to pile up.

    At uni, I'd always try to finish work early. But rather than use the extra time to look over it and make improvements, I'd just hand it in early too.

    At work, I usually put things off till the boss has asked for the umpteenth time. But if I ever do get something done before then, I'll play the PlayStation 2 I set up "for my patients".

    I don't have this problem of wondering what to do with free time once I've finished something because I don't finish anything early. I leave it until the eleventh hour and race to get it done.
