I'm the same. If I really want something , I will always spend an unreasonable amount of time on whatever it is they want from me. Spent an entire afternoon perfecting just the layout of the 3-page report that got me here to San Diego. I don't know if it's worth it at all but it has gotten me very far so far.

But 'hey, it can't hurt my chances' has cost me more time than I care to admit.
