Noel Fielding of the sketch duo “The Mighty Boosh” responded to the question above with this: “We talk about what we’re going to do for weeks, but we don’t actually do anything. You have to drink lots of different sorts of drinks. You drink lots of coffees, then you’re going to need juice, then you need some water, then you need some tea. … You go through the whole gamut of drinks. Anything to not do any actual work until you have to.”

I understand that process.
