Think about it, what sets you up for a quality paper better: cramming everything into one espresso-fueled night of binge-working, or exploring diverse and quality resources to craft a well-thought out paper?
There's an understandable desire to be seen as someone who thrives under pressure, but what people should remember is that when they see that athlete performing in clutch moments, or leader navigating through a crisis, more often than not their actions are the end product of countless hours of preparation that go unseen.
