Not saying that you're wrong, but I've never liked that argument, as usually it goes untested. I can't count the times that persons tell me that they work really well under pressure and when they've procrastinated, and hold up x as the result. My contention always is is what would x look like if more time and less pressure were applied?

Something that I've had to learn while working is to plan and design more, and 'react' less.

And not that I don't procrastinate, nor require negative incentives to gain momentum...
