Procrastination delays the inevitable

I remember once reading that journalists thrived under the pressure that deadlines impose. But did they ever try to make it harder for themselves by purposely procrastinating? After all, even less time would amount to greater pressure, resulting in even greater exhilaration and sense of accomplishment once the job is done.

And for some reason, I tend to write better late at night, when I am half groggy from lack of sleep.
