Sssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Don't spoil the secret

Actually, I have work to do. But I am awful at completing work when I don't feel pressure. So here's what I do:

1) get project
2) set deadline (in this case, it's Thursday)
3) wait until very last minute
4) do project
5) watch as my boss is happy

Now, I do manage to get a lot of work related things done. A lot of it is thinking about how I should best do the project, and taking notes. I take a lot of notes about the software I'm working on. And then I just come back to it, bang out a superior product than the other guy, and it gets delivered to our customer. It's all good. Truth be told, I wish they'd set more unrealistic deadlines for me, so I could be even more productive. But it's all good. They're happy, I'm happy. I put in ~40 hours of actual working time each week. My boss told me "as long as you're on task 80% of the time, I'm happy." Well, I easily meet that, so no problem.
