me vs deadline

I love deadlines ehn. My relationship with rush hour is something I cannot explain because why do I always wait until the deadline draws near before I start moving?

It’s crazy, but it’s me. For me, there’s a kind of rush of energy to get things done at the point of need, when the pressure is high.

Does it always work for me? Well, 90% of the time it does. The other 10% happens when I overestimate my abilities in situations where all things that should be equal are not equal.

I remember how I used to get upset over short notice tasks. I would rage, vent, and talk about courtesy demands, then still go ahead to get it done. And honestly, there’s this really cool “I’m so proud of myself” vibe I get from achieving the result I want.

Dearest reader, I like a fair challenge, testing the limits of my ability. Even when it’s not convenient or comfortable, I just like to try, to see if I’ll beat that deadline.

For me, the thrill of deadlines is in the simple joy of beating them, that “na only me dey run am” feeling at the end.

While it’s all fun and chill, it has me thinking lately, is it healthy? This tendency to do so well, so close to the deadline.

What do you think?
