Don't give yourself so much time. You'll constantly run out of time.
When you're setting deadlines for yourself, make sure you select the correct deadline. You have to understand the reason why deadlines exist in the first place. They're not just about putting some chronological restraints on a particular project.
While there's much value to that, there's something more to deadlines than strict, time-based parameters. The main reason deadlines work is that they force people to take action before a specific time passes.
In other words, they push people to do things that they normally would not do. Let's face it, people being people would rather kick the can down the road, or better yet, don't do what they're supposed to do at all.
That's the basic truth about the human condition. Doesn't matter where you come from, doesn't matter how much education you have. This is true for all people.
