The deadline is not as bad as it is painted. What about the four modern horsemen of the Apocalypse? The Coronavirus is replaced by the Reconciliation, and Deadline goes toe-to-toe with the Recessional. The numbers in the calendar terrify the performer. Or they allow you to do everything without deviating from the schedule.

Set a deadline to buy and read this book so you don't miss the restaurant that opens without stress and panic, see with your own eyes the man-made snow on a mountain, and how a passenger plane comes off the assembly line. You will learn how Easter lilies are delivered and visit the backstage of a theatre before the premiere. You will visit an air force squadron rescuing victims of a hurricane and a Best Buy store on the eve of Black Friday. You will watch startup founders present their product to the public and take part in an election campaign. Mastering the science of setting and resetting your own timer will create space for all your activities. A space that fortunately includes time to finish work, time to think, and time to relax.
