Re: Deadlines
I believe that deadlines are my friend WHEN they let me know exactly what's expected of me and also let me know when I'll be free to start the next project. Not everywhere, alas, can
that clarity be expected to accompany a deadline.
I've found that if I accept the deadline as set in stone and line up another project to start at the end of the last one, I end up overlapping contracts almost every time.
