Nah, I don't find that's the case. I think you do do more work (but often get better marks because of it ), but I personally have never had to stay up the night before an assignment's due to finish it.

You may want to look into a useful new activity, Spydar - it's called constructive procrastination, or "constructination" for those most intimate with it . This involves not actually doing the work, but doing "work-like activities" that resemble work but aren't, or are trivial parts of the work. This way, you're not working, but you feel more virtuous because you are "working"
