You've been through this before. A new deadline, a new challenge. It doesn't faze you. Not anymore.
When the boss says that the deadline's been extended, you rejoice internally and think: great. I don't have to start on this til next week. A tiny voice tries to intervene, pesky thing. But you're confident of your abilities. My bullshit's never failed me before. Why worry now?
But the work starts to pile up and the page remains blissfully blank as it was five days ago. The late nights start turning into later days, shorter tempers; and your heart starts doing strange palpitations in your chest. Maybe that last cup of coffee wasn't such a good idea. Coffee makes you antsy! You can't work like that, damnit!
The tiny voice is back. sure it remarks drily, keep telling yourself that.
You wonder why you keep putting yourself through this.
