    Interestingly I find that I can accomplish a lot, and quicker, while under pressure. Thing is, while this work is generally pretty good compared to the work that is done given a longer timeline, I feel I would really be able to push things even further had I had another period of time following the deadline. I guess what I'm saying, is a false deadline would be awesome (assuming I "knew" it was a real deadline), then being surprised with more time to really clean up the work and make it great would be a good strategy for me.

    I tend to lollygag a bit when it feels like I have all the time in the world. Definitely work less efficiently.

    I guess a time boxing strategy would work on me.
