Deadline, shmedline: it’s no big deal when you have the proper planning.

• Work backwards, setting up mini deadlines necessary to achieve the final one
• Plan your ladder well, consulting with your school calendar to check for school events and sports seasons
• Always add up to 10% more pages to each deadline to allow for unexpected problems (if 36 pages are due, assign an additional 4 just in case)
• Have deadline parties or celebrate when you’ve successfully met a deadline
