I'm similar, not that much of the work is creative in the normal sense. In my case I delay things mostly because I have to get everything in my mind at once, knowing what I'm going to do and how I'm going to do it. I also have to be in the right frame of mind, and without distractions, so I end up delaying and delaying till there are no distractions and nothing else to do but get on with it. Once I do start I work very quickly.
