Not too much, especially after the first few times. And I had the bad habit (still sort of do) of spending far more time avoiding things that I found boring than it would take to actually do them. And yes, I did have to do it eventually, but this helped stretch the deadline by a week or so, which is quite nice when you get like 4 assignments dumped on you in the same month (because god forbid the teachers work together and make us an evenly-loaded schedule).
