[sigh] I'm a just do it-er, alas. Once the apartment (or a specific room) hits a critical mass of gunge, the cleaning mojo takes over. I catch myself scrubbing the nasty bathtub ring, which leads to wiping down the shower, which leads to washing the floor, since now the bathtub looks shiny and the floor doesn't, etc.
I'd like to be more organized than that, ("if it's Tuesday, it must be dusting day,") but I don't think there's much likelihood of that happening. Not in this lifetime, anyway.
And it's the same for the rest; I put things off until I'm in just enough of a crunch to lend some urgency to the matter, and then use the onset of anxiety as my kick in the ass to get started. Thankfully I've learned how long it takes me to do various things (writing, cleaning, grocery runs, etc), so I can generally time the crunch moment to 'after I no longer have lots of time, but before I'll actually end up late.' It's a fine balance. :P
