Hi friend, 

Deadlines rule our lives, mark the pace of projects, and often loom over us like an approaching storm. Whether you're someone who thrives on the pressure of last-minute pushes or dreads the ticking clock, it's easy to let deadlines control your world.

But what if we flipped that narrative? What if, instead of racing against time, we approached deadlines with more intention, reality, and, dare I say, grace?

I’ve been there, staring at a mountain of work, the last few weeks of Summer and the end of Summer camp, with looming deadlines marking the end of the month, transitioning to Fall and the feeling of the end of the quarter, feeling paralyzed by procrastination. And the more I waited, the more overwhelming it all became.

So, this is my letter to the deadline-driven: the ones doing everything they can to show up, keep up, and remain upright.

I would never call myself a procrastinator; I've never been one to leave things to the last minute. I've learned that as you grow in levels at work and roles at home, sometimes the job gets done on the flight to the workshop, or the house gets cleaned right before the guests arrive because you're managing your life day by day and minute by minute.

I did a little soul-searching while I was literally bed-ridden with neck tension I let turn into disk issues, so I'm sharing the antidotes for your benefit and my own. 

Your contributions matter: those who recognize them will wait.

You've got this—on your terms.

Best, 

Kara
