Why do I like my choices?

I feel quite restricted, whether I use even a small fraction of my options or not, if I have very few choices. Especially on vacations, I am meticulous that I have plenty of options to do on the long drive or plane ride wherever we're going. More often than not, I'll procrastinate even in the traveling, because I think I'll be able to do it later on the trip, and I don't end up getting to half of the things that I brought to do. Eventually I end up feeling insufficient and have to stay up late to get it all done. Why am I like this?
I think the first reason and problem is that I procrastinate. If I were to begin my homework earlier, or whatever else needs to be done, I would do a better job as well as not have to stay up the night before it is due. In order to accomplish this I need to motivate myself with good sleep, good grades, and less stress worrying about what needs to be done. I usually end up wasting time if I'm not doing what needs to be done anyway. I'd rather waste time doing what I really want to do with the freedom of no homework, than remain wasting my time on lame things and having to worry about homework.
Once I've accomplished this, I'll then be able to use more of my dear options that I'm claustrophobic without. It would also make more of my time worth while in finishing homework before the night before it's due, as well as when I spend time searching for things to do in traveling. So, as I have observed, my innate preference for options must be because, in this instance, my subconscious knows what's best better than I do. The conclusion is that, even though I may seem to enjoy relaxing, doing nothing, etc. I am much better off staying busy, keeping my mind occupied and getting things done.
