I’m not always great about this myself, but I think a lot of this is self-imposed/external deadlines. What I like to make sure I remember is that there is always more work. Don’t rush yourself cause you’ll just be given more. If approaching deadlines you can’t meet with a reasonable work life balance - cut the scope, break it into smaller chunks, and inform stakeholders. Set expectations that you aren’t going to complete things on a frantic 60 hour+ schedule. Work finds those who are competent. Slow down and maybe be okay with not exceeding expectations all the time.
