"I meet my deadlines by planning for contingencies and pushing my deadlines up. I never do the bare minimum. Instead, I always raise the bar when it comes to my work ethic and standard. If my deadline is in four weeks, that means three weeks. That way, when the unexpected happens, if I'm not on time, I am still ahead of schedule."
