"Last month, I worked with a client who requested a host of last-minute changes to our project. Despite the changes, our deadline remained the same. Our project lead was becoming increasingly stressed that we would not meet our deadline, so I decided to stay late three nights that week to ensure that all expectations were met. In the end, we met the deadline and the client was happy with the work."

"During the last semester of my MBA program last spring, I was nearing completion of my capstone project. During the semester, the full-time job I was working to put myself through school was becoming much more demanding, and parts of my project got postponed to a point where I feared not being able to complete it to the best of my abilities with the final due date approaching. Right away, I rearranged my work schedule to work half time and began plugging away at the final pieces of the project. To complete it, I had to sacrifice some outside social events. While sad to do that at first, I learned some great lessons on time management, project management, and sacrifice."
