Staying creative under tight deadlines requires a structured yet flexible approach. I prioritize tasks using techniques like the Eisenhower Matrix to distinguish urgent from important, allowing me to focus on high-impact activities. Setting aside dedicated time for creative thinking—like a "creative hour"—helps maintain inspiration. Mindfulness practices, such as short breaks for deep breathing or quick walks, clear mental clutter, enabling sharper focus and rejuvenating my creativity amid chaos.

Three things I could never let go of: 1. Strict planning and prioritization, so I do not forget what is important. 2. Demanding physical exercise late in the afternoon, so I can recharge after a busy day and feel refreshed enough to keep working until late night. 3. Manual arts&crafts, so I can put my mind off duty inbetween work/study tasks and replenish my will to try and see beauty around me.

Balancing multiple time-sensitive projects requires a strategic approach to maintain focus and creativity. I alternate between creative, analytical, and simple tasks. Creative work cannot be forced, while analytical tasks are mentally draining, and simple tasks help ease cognitive pressure. By shifting between these, I optimize mental energy and prevent burnout. This method allows me to stay productive across various demands, ensuring I meet deadlines without sacrificing the quality of innovative thinking or analytical accuracy. It fosters both efficiency and sustained creativity under pressure.
