I'm similar (work best under pressure) but I often wonder if it's a case of avoiding failure (PG) by delaying work and also increasing the internal excuse you have if it all goes pear-shaped. Then again, I find that I don't get enough time to just relax normally, so anytime I do have a light agenda I "procrastinate" because I haven't met that minimum threshold. If you give me a few weeks holiday to catchup I'm all pumped to be working again. Given this, the only time I will work is when I've either had enough rest (very rare) or when the workload is so great that I can't afford not to.
