I still have a shit load of work to do and I ahve to launch a site by Friday morning.... along with email newsletter etc...still have to write copy for that bad boy...
then I may have a client that needs work tomorrow and firday....how the hell am I going to pull this off......
i need sleep....but I need time....
I wonder....do I go to sleep like 4 hours and then have time but be exhausted.....or do I get full 7-8 hrs rest....and then be wide awake and just work really fast......??

I'm in a similar boat, though I'm trying to please 4 clients by Friday.
Get some sleep - it'll make you more productive when you're awake.
I should heed my own advice.

dude......yeah....but the prob is this is the only damn time when its quiet....
I have 3 clients.... although one I can stall....so really only 2.....
I wake up in the morning all fired up but then I get hit with vmails, IMs, emails...and I have to deliver a folio update tomorrow to 3 interested prospects.....
damn I hate setting my alarm....I guess I could on 5 hours until 9am..then go adrenaline until 6..... red bull until late tomorrow night.....
I have been eating light and avoiding most carbs just so I wont get tired

dang, that's a bind.
I like working at night because I can borrow work time from sleep time, instead up being up against a rapidly approaching deadline.
But I always pay for it in the morning. I'm only 33, but I can't rebound the way I used to.
Still, get some sleep. Any way you can push another one of your clients to Monday?

1. get of NT
2. get a full load of redbull or coffee
3. prepare a good plan b (like computer hard disk dying)

hmm.... well if I can get one client off my back...I could easily delivery the folio to the prospects ..I buy red bull by the case.....
I am actually doing a funky experiment...might take me until I am 40 but whatever....how many cans did it take before I made my first million.
I am sure if I actually finish collecting and I prove the million I could get a sponsorship from them and drink red bull free the rest of my life.....
ok getting off and getting a few hours of sleep.... I guess I could just ignore anything but the phone tomorrw and can just stay off IM...

redbull is crap, herbalife's thermojetics instant herbal tea always starts me up and keeps me going.
it's green tea, caffeine, hibiscus, orange pekoe and whatnot. they also have good guarana pills, slower startup but keep you up longer

Nor am I!
Well. I've quit my job and I've got 6 days left - so clients' concerns are no longer mine! Woohoo!

man,
i have been in this same position you two (ken and arthur - oh, btw ,i am going to oahu and maui tomorrow for 10 days arthur :) too many times. when it rains it pours. i am sure you are off NT by now ken (good move), but incase you are not, my expereince says;
- sleep. it will only make (if nothing else) your clarity in how to acomplish everything else better.
- those who are interested, but not for sure, explain what the situation is, and see let them know it will be an extra day, etc to get your stuff to them. deliver to those you have already, convince those you do not that you will.
- do not do half ass job on something just to do the same on the next to 'complete' it all. your quality of creative and delivery are what distinguish you, keep to that.
- talk to them. we are all mammals, communication is key.
good luck, mang! :)

that's good advice from madirish – and how about bringing on some freelance help? can't you pull someone in to carry the workload in a crunch? you pay out a bit, and in return you have a better end result and you meet your deadlines. trying to do it all can wipe you out.

a good place to start would be to get off NT and actually do the work?!
