It doesn't matter how late you are or how deep you go once you're past the deadline. Once you're past the deadline it's all the same, it's all after. When you get things done early, when you have time left, that's when the time actually matters. Minutes, hours, days, weeks, that's when people take notice. But the second the clock strikes midnight that's when you can relax. That's when you can let all your stress and anxiety go, your worry warts fade away. They're already disappointed in you, you've already let them down. You may as well open a bottle of wine and let them scowl a little more. They will learn to wait, they will learn to think of you as the one who is always coming in after. They will push "on time" back for you, and back, and back, and back, until no one expects much of anything from you at all. And by this time you will have grown fine with it, you will have had your wine. You will have plenty of time to think about all the thing you could do with your time.
