Oh, yes! What @narthur said! Here’s me and @bee discovering that setting all our deadlines to 5pm was a huge help: 5pm deadlines might be life-changing
It’s now going on 9 months of 5pm deadlines and we both still really like it. Sometimes I think about how carefully constructed waterfalls could better spread out my deadline-scrambling. And very occasionally I scramble to dispatch all of my beemergencies the night before so that I can, say, get immersed in code or catch up on email during the workday. I like that a lot and am now thinking if it could be worth forcing myself to do that more. The extreme of midnight or 3am deadlines though feels like too much. That’s a recipe for procrastinating all day and then literally losing sleep over dispatching beemergencies.
