There was a major deadline last sunday. 10 minutes past midnight, I got a mail from a student...

There have been too many fucking times where I worked on an assignment, finished it, forgot to submit and then didn't remember that until midnight. Ive made it with seconds to spare before but I've also missed it by tens of minutes. There was at least one time (that I can think of) where I got a zero for submitting single-digit amounts of minutes late before and the professor wasn't hearing any of it. I think it was either 12:03 or 12:05.

Deadlines are pretty important in the professional world. If you miss a hard deadline, at best you end up looking sloppy and unprofessional, at worst you've lost your company a couple million and you're about to be out of a job.

I'm an absolutely fantastic employee, at least, my performance reviews and bonuses support the image. I also have absolutely terrible anxiety about mundane deadlines. Some paperwork that takes 3 minutes might be put off for an extra day or two while I spend hours day and night on my actual responsibilities. It's an issue.
