Know yourself very well. I shorten my deadlines. I delay everything, always and I know that working under pressure I'm the best of me (yes, maybe is shortening my life expectations..). At the other side I know that working with me is giving maybe 120% of you, so I set my deadlines earlier for me. Then I do the shit because that deadline I set is my deadline and I'm very proud guy that wants to do the shit on time. Then when the thing is done I have maybe 2 to 3 days to review and relax. But the best recommendation is: to know yourself. Sometimes your mind (and body) needs to run away some minutes. I'm a former teacher also and I know that you can't focus too long on something that you don't want and doing that is bad for you and bad for the stuff you are doing. You needs something that makes you want to focus, for me is the pressure of deadlines. I need to talk with my psychologist..
