Well what do you want to hear? That when you spend too long deliberating you end up trying too hard and overanalysing, but when you just let go of all your inhibitions and stop standing in your own way you unlock your full potential and this expains why you do so much better when you leave it to the final hour? Nigga please I ain't gonna tell you that shit. Learn to sample size before you hypothesize.

Because the rush of oncoming judgment makes you, innately, lose the senses that will stand in your way of success, even though failure looms close.

When you take your time, you are leisurely and view things with the walls drawn up.

The solution would be to tap into this state even if there's not a physical, sudden onset that sparks it (again, due to absolute necessity).
