Sleep until the deadline passes. Or maybe wake up one hour before it.

Easy: shift-right. The schedule, I mean. "Delay is not an option yadda yadda", sure... the reply is "reality doesn't care about your options."

I am having same deadline
U a not alone

@darkwind Tell me about it, I ain't handling it the right way

@EpicofGilgamesh sometimes I do the "do chores/work out until you suddenly feels like focusing" routine.
It does not work every time for the focusing part, but no dish is left unwashed.

@JsonBoa I don't know how but I did this and it worked, I got my nerves on check , and I got a super clean house now

@EpicofGilgamesh glad to hear. And double benefit! Focused mind and clean house!

@JsonBoa Thanks my dude

A good night's sleep is your best debugger. Try to sleep as much as you can while powering thru.

@EpicofGilgamesh

1) Firstly I almost don't worry, because I am ready to be fired already half of a year.
2) Secondly, I warned in advance what needs to be done to product in order to have it launched, so if they wish to do early launch, all problems are already known to all
3) Everything that needs to be done for the earlier launch was chosen and prioritized to be done. And I have even additional time to do things in case of emergency.
4) And than closer i am to deadline, then closer I am to 10 days holidays, which makes my mood YAY!
5) And I work from home at last, that allows me to do more while being in a good mood.
6) So basically I just work like in regular days, though a bit more overworking than usual.

Go to sleep as soon as you can, sleep till you feel good, then smash out the work until you literally cannot work anymore, sleep again, rinse and repeat

Stop accepting unrealistic deadlines.

Relax. Don't try to reach the deadline by sacrificing your health. Don't overwork yourself. Deadlines come and go, but they are not the target.
They are there to help managers to feel like they are in control.

@HitWRight This is way better

@electrineer this man is a genius.
