Procrastinators, how’s it working out for you? I just had yet another project cancelled at the last minute as I was just about to start working on it. Feeling pret-ty good about it.

“So sorry — the client decided to put that project on hold indefinitely. I’m sure you’ve put a bunch of time into it. We appreciate it."

I often wonder if my judging myself about how I’m procrastinating on digging into a project, which of course causes even more anxiety, isn’t just another form of procrastination. It goes around and around into a little ball of anxiety and then either the project gets pushed or you get in trouble for the last minute painful cram. This never gets solved, this tension. Only 2 moments are a relief. The exact moment when you complete a presentation (before you worry how you did and if we won the business) or the very first briefing with a clean slate.

This has also happened to me on several occasions. One time I started a project immediately after the kickoff and I was feeling really proud of myself. The day after I finished, it was killed. I learned my lesson.

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week.

But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
