They say that Douglas Adams liked the sound they make when they fly by. But what if you really, really want to meet them? Well, so far I've seen three different ways of doing that:

The "let's finish early to leave some time for last minute problems" strategy,

the "perfect planning and hope for no mistakes" strategy and

the "the deadline is coming so we have to work really, really hard now" strategy.

Suffice to say I'm a fan of the first one, but I admit I sometimes fall back to the second way.

If you know your deadline in advance, why would you choose any other way? Isn't the point of knowing when you have to finish something exactly that you can plan your work? So excuse me if I don't buy the third option.

Of course, I'm not the only one that draws graphs like this.
