    5 Stress-Busters to Beat a Deadline

    Jen Waak 9th September Health 8 Comments

      I totally thrive under the pressure of a deadline. I use deadlines to make myself just start on the work, much less finish it, because I realize that old axiom that “work expands to fill the available time” is true. I’m famous for trying to squeeze in “just one more thing” before even starting the thing I’m supposed to be working on. Here’s where the stress-busters come into picture.

        Shereen Sanchez 5th September Career 6 Comments
