last-minute

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'continue with note at the end of time' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'continue with note at the end' is the wordplay.
'continue with' becomes 'last' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'note' becomes 'minute' (minute is a kind of note).
'at the end' says to put letters next to each other.
'last'+'minute'='LAST-MINUTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for last-minute that I've seen before include "Eleventh hour" , "very late" , "Eleventh-hour" , "Done at the final moment" , "Done at the latest possible moment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
