You know, when the deadline is a moving target, it's way easier to let it drift than chase it. It keeps my brain from freaking out and I get to do something fun in the meantime. That's the efficient part.

It’s all about keeping the energy level low. When the deadline hovers, I can stay in the “just‑a‑minute” zone and still make something happen. It feels like I’m not rushing, so I actually finish the little parts that matter while the big stuff just sits around. It’s not so much a grand plan, just a way to stay chill and keep the work moving in a relaxed rhythm.
