Mmm, I went through a phase of that a couple of weeks ago. There's still an essay from Week 2 that I just never did. Admittedly I was ill, but I know that if I'd really cared, I could have written something. Work gets easier the further into term you get - you get less perfectionist, more used to doing it, and more importantly more comfortable with the topics. So while I'm fine with it at the moment, I know it'll be difficult again after Easter.
And working under pressure is definitely an advantage. It focusses the mind and encourages conciseness. When I only have an hour to write something I stick firmly to the question, rather than trying to do too much. The result is usually much more clear, and much more to the point.
