Sarah, there's no question that procrastination works the way you say it does, but that way is so STRESSFUL! I used to utilize this method to the extreme when I was younger to the extent of sewing a whole batch of costumes in the morning for a play that was to be produced that afternoon!
(Naturally I had to persuade another sainted person to help me).
But ever since then, my whole adult life I guess, I've striven to be more disciplined so that I can avoid that last-minute panic. To the extent I've succeeded, I have to say my life is calmer and more bearable.
