I hate it too!
I also see it as a nessecary evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
If you get it right, then come race day you'll be top!
Only reason to do it.
Personally, I keep the same workout schedule, and exercise at the same times that I would have during the last weeks of a 'peak' block of training and then just cut back the duration and/or intensity. A 5 mile tempo run becomes 3 miles or a 5 mile steady run instead. A 2400m swim in 400 and 200m intervals becomes a steady 1k swim and then 2x400 intervals or so. I like to finish the workout with fuel in the tank instead of going to empty, and generally it works.
