Deadlines hit different when it’s your dream you’re grinding for

Are deadlines somehow easier to deal with when it’s someone else giving them to you?
I’ve been thinking about that today.I’ve got a few on my plate at the moment.I’m cramming to get the Orc Borg layout finished (it’s so close), and I still have almost the whole Lancer project ahead of me.And today is an editing day.
But... when I was working a "normal" job, I really didn’t stress about deadlines.Maybe that should’ve been a sign.Maybe it’s not who gives you the deadlines — maybe it’s what they’re for.
Are they for something that actually matters to you?Something you love doing?Something that has a positive and meaningful impact on your life — beyond just money?(Because let me tell you, there’s very little money in this at the moment.)
Anyway.
Deadlines.
Back to the grindstone.
