I think the key is to not put pressure on yourself, and don't allow other people to do so. One person can only do so much, you can't make a baby in 5 months. Work a stable amount each day, on tasks in descending order of priority. I never work past 6 pm, and never work on weekends. If a deadline isn't met, it's the fault of the people that set the deadline.
- twothamendment 10y agoYou are right on. I learned a long time ago there is always more work and it always needs to be done last week. I work hard, but there is only so much a person can do. I'll put in extra time, but only when it really counts. Some deadlines were meant to be blown by and when you quit stressing yourself over things that are out of your control and focus on what you can do - life is better.
- walrus1066 10y agoTrue true. With deadlines, if they're unrealistic, you've just got to compromise and either a) reduce the scope b) fail to meet the deadline c) compromise the quality by frantically hacking things together over long nights and weekends. Always go for option a), if you can't extend or get rid of the deadline.
