Hi!
Ever feel so overwhelmed with deadlines and everything up and goes wrong? It could be school, college, or work deadlines. It's troubling when you are already struggling to finish something up and get more obstacles like internet downtimes as if the universe is conspiring against you.
Ironically, deadlines can even cause procrastination effect where something is so important that you can't seem to make progress and feel inclined to do other things. I was already struggling with eye problems owing to overwork slowing down my productivity, but oddly enough I made time to do favors for relatives even if it meant staring my screen with my fatigued eyes yet I was unable to be productive with what mattered. Come end of the week, I'm far from finished with my work milestones.
What about you? Ever had deadlines but couldn't seem to be productive and even when you push your limit everything goes wrong to the point you are unable to meet your deadlines?

Yeah, there always will be deadlines. Ohh a Ph.D. thesis, huh? If it's okay, could you share your specialization? :D

Oh yes it does. My work actually expects a LOT from me and when I mention it to my boss, I sometimes come out as someone who’s just ranting and not really getting anything done. I don’t know why they have the same expectation with me and someone who has less workload.

I understand what you are saying. I stress is that there are time only a few can help me and I have to keep trying to get their attention to help me with something and most times they ignore me. It is very frustrating.

I have a bad habit of waiting until the last minute to meet a deadline.
