So here we are leaving it till late

Souzana and I giggle a lot because we have similar working methods: leave it till the last minute, panic, and then spend sleepless nights, haggard, regressing into foetus-shapes as we sit hunched hour after hour over the computer trying to make that deadline....

Obviously we weren't going to do things differently for the last and biggest project of our lives, due on the 15th June and which we are basically beginning to start (both of us have got to write 100 or so pags on European politics).

Stress is running high and we are wondering why oh why oh why do we always leave things till the last minute?? Then Souz found this.
Well that explains a lot! Perfectionnist and hates failure, me?!

Anonyme a dit…

During an interview, D. J. Bernstein's, a great IT scientist, was questioned about time management/workflow. Indeed he works on many very complexs projects which imply a lot of people, like the next generation of mail system (a secure one), and connection protocol.

He simply answered 'I sit back, and let my computer tell me what to do' ! If so, trust-me, his computer is far away you know about management.

Frankly, he must use an home-made tool 'cause those kind of products are either too specifics, then useless for a day to day student works, either closed-source's one.


There is no universal answer. Soo bad
