I guess that's the key for me, and something to think about re. careers. Having multiple strong deadlines is the only thing that can get me started--I never get going on things until the last possible minute, and then have to work incredibly hard to get everything done. But I could never, ever have a job where I had 6 months to work on a big project, with some ambiguous status checks but nothing really forcing me to make progress. Consulting seems to me that it will be pretty good for you (and I'm actually considering it myself): You're working on a set project, there are clear goals and a limited timeframe, and I feel like there must be very strong deadlines in place.
I am jealous of people who plug away and never end up so stressed out, aren't you? They may be robots but they can be so calm! (I do see a strong correlation between creativity and procrastination, though. And there's also the clean desk/messy desk issue--did you read the articles a few months ago about how messy desk people are indeed the creative ones who tend to go further in life? HA!)
