Believe it or not, I still do my best work under the gun. In my current job, sometimes people pay me extra to expedite my turnaround, and I thrive under the pressure. Perhaps it’s the promise of extra money, but I just feel so much more focused knowing my hard deadline is fast approaching.
Yeah, I always purposefully wait to do my projects at work until the last second. If you don’t have time to do anything else, you don’t think about doing anything else. Plus it helps when someone forgets about a project and sends it over to me with way too little time left, but I get it done anyway since that’s the amount of time I’d have allotted myself regardless. I always clock a bunch of overtime and make sure to talk it up like it was a huge undertaking when that happens, though, so they don’t think they can just give me more work all the time.
