There are always deadlines I have to meet. I don't let myself get too close to the deadlines, so it's not like I'm just sweating bullets or anything if the clock is ticking. I never let myself get in that situation.

When you wait to the last minute, you rush to get things done, and the closer you get to the deadline, the less options you have.

I've worked my whole life and never missed a deadline.

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

The only deadline is the one I give myself.

I set the time on my iPhone to be 30 minutes late, so I'm only an hour and a half late to appointments now.

Be able to meet any deadline, even if your work is done less well than it would be if you had all the time you would have preferred.

I'm always late for things and always feel like I'm rushing.

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.
