I find it baffling that you had to do this in the absolute last minute? At best it shows poor planning? At worst a 'I-am-heroic-startup-1-person-army' which burns out so many poor souls. Pardon me if this is incorrect.
- CydeWeys 11y agoThat kind of hypothetical analysis is irrelevant in the moment though (similar to sunk costs). Regardless of how you end up finding yourself in a situation where you need to complete a herculean task in a single day, you still need to do it. It doesn't help to place blame at that moment, though of course you should do a post-mortem afterwards and figure out what you can do in the future to prevent it from recurring. I too ended up in a similar situation in university where I needed to complete a large programming project in a single night, and I did it. Now granted, that was a fault of bad time management on my part, but using disciplined programming I was at least able to recover from it and complete the project. And I have had a few instances in the business world that had similar tight and tough deadlines that were NOT a result of time management failure on my part.
