I am proof that procrastination works wonders:

So that 15-page paper that's due tomorrow, I have almost 14,000 more words added to my novel to show for it. I simply cannot bring myself to do that stupid paper, but at least I was a productive procrastinator, I suppose.

Now there's just a little meeting and some dinner to stand between me and finishing that paper. But no more NaNo. That probably would not turn out so well for my Government grade.
