Pretty much the same with deadlines. If the workload is reasonable it'll get done in good time. Might even to be my own schedule and not a 9-5 but it will for sure get done.
I will even avoid the flow unless I feel particularly meditative. There's nothing good about vanishing down a rabbit hole for several hours and prioritising the rabbit hole above your own health.

Also I now refuse to do single estimates, but instead provide more of a histogram that shows how probable I think various estimates are (basically a minor risk assessment).
- dwringer 8y agoIs there a formalized definition of this "rabbit hole" people have been abusing ever since The Matrix was in theatres? I feel like it was originally a metaphor but it's being used more and more literally to where I hear it almost daily.
