What's the most amount of work you've done in the least amount of time?

[lemoncake]

Just wondered, have you ever completed some crazy project in no time at all? Ever procrastinate until the last minute but then come up with something awesome?

I was always really good at doing papers a few hours before they were due.

I have burned upto 150 caleries in under 5 minuets.

We had a graduation project in high school that we were supposed to start in 9th grade and take the entire 4 years to do. It was due in November of our senior year, and if we didn't do it we couldn't graduate.


I did mine in 12 hours, the night before it was due 😀

I did a 20 page research paper in less then 24 hours. It was a terrible experience I never want to repeat.

I did a ten-page research paper on Gender Identity Disorder in 11 hours in college, the night before/day it was due. (Class was in the evening).

I also did a ten-page research paper on Shakespeare and if the works that are attributed to him are actually his, in about 12 hours in high school the day before it was due.

I also pulled an all-nighter doing a short research paper (5 pages??) and preparing a 10 minute presentation...on the importance of sleep (More specifically on the importance of dreaming and REM sleep..but still)

I've done 10-page papers in 4-5 hours, 'cause in college, I had the gift of gab. What I consider my worst cram effort wound up being 26 pages summarizing months of research, but written front to back in a 48 hour span. Got an A- but didn't deserve it. The paper was shite.

I always hated school, so I was pretty notorious for cramming at the last minute. Whether that meant for tests or papers, I was able to do it well, though I admit it wasn't the smartest tactic. Fortunately, I never had to do the 10 pages papers or anything like that. I think the maximum we were ever given was something like 5. I may have began those within a few days of them being due. 😀

Had to edit & output fashion videos the morning of the weeklong event many times. This happened a lot!

Going from my water breaking at 4:30am to having the baby in my arms while I bragged about her over the phone at 8:30am

Hehe i had a talent for writing essays and research papers in high school and college (what little i went to college) actually had kind of a lucrative side business at one point writing cram papers for people. They'd give me the assignment, their last paper (for writing style reference), and i'd usually have a few hours to churn out a multi-page paper that matched their style and grade leve. I didn't write A papers for D students, B maybe...


My greatest amount of work was actually a banner on 10x15 foot piece of unstretched canvas. I was told i had one hour to create a banner for the front of the exhibit i worked at and while i managed to mispell BOTH apocalypse and horsemen. I remember that thing dropping just as cannon went off and wanting to melt with embarassment. No one else noticed my mistake for atleast a whole day. I had many frustrating experiences in my time trying to paint something within a deadline.

I once knit a scarf in 5 hours of furious knitting.

I wrote a 20 philosophy paper in 4 hours in grad school. Not a bad paper, considering.

 

[CMartin]

....furious knitting......

Who knew yarn could get so angry....... 😛

I shat a child out.

He was born at 1:43 AM. My water was made to break at like.. 10 or something.

143 stands for I Love You and we stayed in room 325. We were married on March 25th.

If it wasn't for the downfall of everything, I'd say that's pretty wicked.

I digress.

 

[Rorschach]

Every semester of college my final projects I always do the night before. I've been in college for over 3 years now and done that for almost every final project.

 

[desdemona]

Well, my "deliveries" are easier - I've delivered up to 11 puppies in less than one hour. C-sections are da bomb.

 

[steph]

Oh God.
I was self employed (freelance writer.) Best job I ever had. A client approached me about his new resume writing software and if I was interested, he'd pay me $5000 for one month's work. It was a dream paycheck, the office was near my home so I could run in and out for his changes, feedback, ideas...
The bad news was the assignment~I had to generate 14,000 sample resumes for the project. I typed 12 hours a day, my hair fell out in clumps and I spent a lot of time crying. I used to think those people that said things like "sometimes money isn't everything" were crazy. Now I know better.
XOXO

Packed and moved an entire house (2 bedrooms), and had it cleaned in less than 24 hours.

Never do today what you can put off until the last minute.
