Time Blocking a Book

There's just something very powerful about a dead line that makes me say, ok, i have to finish x amount of work in y amount of time. And then my mind is just going to find more and more optimal ways of doing things. So it's sort of like the person who doesn't plan their life. They're acting like they have infinite time, but of course, they have very, very finite time. But there's still this serenity and ease of knowing, ok, this is exactly what i need to do.
