In Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes," Calvin once said creativity doesn't turn on and off like a faucet—you need the right mood: "last-minute panic."
Bingo. That's how I work best, and I'm sure it's how many other people work as well. It does present some problems, however, when writer's block hits. Thoughts?

I'm the same way... definitely work best under pressure.
There is no time for writer's block when something is due NOW NOW NOW... you've just got to get something out there on paper (screen? does anyone get anything out on paper anymore?) and if there's time to edit it, that's a bonus.
My friends' and my best explanation for procrastination: "We work best under pressure."
