I hate projects with a long deadline because I start them way too late and then just do bad work in my rush to get at least something I can show off.

When I had to write a report on a school mandated internship I started a few days before the deadline and still had nothing when the time came to send it to the teacher. After he extended the deadline for me I still didn't manage to finish it on time. I really hate doing projects with a deadline of over a week. I still am currently procrastinating on a presentation and a seminar paper ~~not sure if that is the correct translation~~ that I have to present this friday and next thursday respectively but I have absolutely no clue how not to fall into suicidal ideation when thinking of them.

Yeah it's a spectrum. Affects different people in different ways. Do you actually like the project? Could just be something you don't enjoy doing, so deadlines are not gonna help much.
