I deal with it with an old trick. (1) Backing away. Pushing through stressed produces inferior results. (2) Using a different constraint. That's the real trick. Only I can't make myself pick the right constraint from the get go if I'm feeling stressed, so I stay stuck in a loop. I need to back away for the subconscious to reveal the right constraint. It's as if I have to give up first. It seems it's only then I finally let myself attempt a solution I haven't tried before. So ironically the way to deal with the stress of getting stuck and having deadlines is to manage to reach the point where, after trying everything, you sincerely no longer give a damn.
