Frequently Asked Questions
I work better under a deadline, but I’m always stressed. Is there a middle ground?
Deadlines fuel "Delay Loops" by using "Threat" as a motivator. To regulate, you need "The Moment Without a Deadline." In the Meaning Density Model™, time urgency thins your meaning. By finding moments where "time is flat" and no clock is ticking, you allow your Integrator to catch up. This deadline-free space is where "True Integration" happens, helping you move from "Panic-Driven Work" to "Identity-Driven Work."
How can I find a "deadline-free moment" in a busy job?
Create a "Temporal Sanctuary." Set a timer for 15 minutes where you are "Off the Clock." During this time, the quality of what you do matters more than the speed. DojoWell suggests that these small breaks from "Temporal Pressure" prevent the nervous system from staying in a "Chronic Alarm" state. By proving you can exist without a deadline, you lower the "Background Threat" of your entire schedule.
