Less stressful that way!

Problem is, I don't like life like this. I want to finish early, have time to make changes or fix any last minute issues. But, I'm always better when under pressure and I know it. *shrugs* <br /><br />Best wishes for meeting yours!Kristie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01649966564896771373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955575393345766322.post-68158257555668197202011-01-28T12:30:51.108-05:002011-01-28T12:30:51.108-05:00Yes, deadlines are necessary or I just procrastina...Yes, deadlines are necessary or I just procrastinate until it never gets done...Good luck with yours!Colene Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086195075690893194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955575393345766322.post-8182940317649546682011-01-28T12:07:38.016-05:002011-01-28T12:07:38.016-05:00If the deadline is realistic, it really helps me. ...If the deadline is realistic, it really helps me.

I was always pushing deadlines in high school and college, though.
