Yeah, deadlines are like that sudden spark that forces you to paint before the wall cools. I usually break it up—drop a quick sketch, hit the wall, then hit the spray, rinse the cans, repeat. Keep a timer on my phone and let the pressure build, but I never let it turn into a mess. The trick is to give yourself a 15‑minute sprint, then a 5‑minute break to re‑eye the piece. Freedom is still there, just a bit sharper. Keeps the flow alive while the clock ticks.
