Usually postponing tasks "to the last minutes" of the project is considered as a bad practice that can cause procrastination, but you need to remember that some of your tasks just should be put off for the last minutes because of their specificity. You should learn to clearly distinguish tasks that can grow larger if you let them stay on the list and tasks that it is advisably to postpone until good moment. Of course, your ability to distinguish such tasks is defined by your specific professional experience, but there are several features that may fully or partially characterize tasks that can/should be put off:
- Such tasks can be very important, but they are not urgent.
- Such tasks do not generate or accumulate problems while staying unfulfilled.
- Details of such tasks depend on changeable circumstances that can change many times before deadline of the project.
- Quality of fulfillment of such tasks depends on certain experience that can be gained only closer to deadlines of the project.
