Using 3cq method to reply to this "Let's say it was a Monday, and there was an assignment due on a Friday. Let's also say there was another assignment due on that Friday and assigned on Wednesday. As soon as I get the Monday assignment, I'm going to start it as soon as possible. You never know when something unexpected may happen or you get another assignment in a couple days. I'm taking into account the unforeseen circumstances. Not to mention, it would be unbearable completing the Monday assignment and the Wednesday assignment the day before they're due because that's extra work that you could've accounted for earlier. As for large assignments, I do some on one day and some the next day. Taking breaks can be good because it allows you to save energy
