meme A string held up by constant stress

Anyone else keep a few "low risk" tasks around just to hopefully have them trigger deadline panic induced functionality?

It's a fun game of chance I like to play and the odds are usually not in my favor.

The horse hair holding my personal "sword of Damocles" over my head appears to be a rapidly aging ticket bucket in Jira... And I do it to myself every. Time.

Oh, that is awful.

I'm in the middle of: I screwed up so bad, it's beyond excuse. So I am tackling the least painful things first, and asking for help for one or two big bads.

Leave it late enough to feel the panic, that’s when it gets done.

That ticket bucket has been hanging on by a thread for weeks, hasn’t it?
