Anyone else seem to struggle to get anything done when you don't have a million things going on and the pressure isn't on? I feel like reasonable timeliness just encourage me to slack and I dont really know why that is.

Same. I feel like I need 50 hours of work to get done with only 40 hours to get it done in for me to be motivated to get anything done.

Well, for me it’s because there is an 80% chance that requirements for non-urgent work will change, so there is actually an incentive to delay work to the last possible moment—otherwise I’ll just have to redo it anyway and I wasted a ton of time

As a company we basically never commit to anything until it’s on fire or due the next day

As a result…I never do things until they are on fire. Why bother?
