I learned early on that deadlines are often arbitrary so it no longer scares me to question them. My clients expect me to be busy so I begin client relationships by setting expectations on what I need to do my best work. However, I do leave billable time in my schedule for rush projects (because sometimes there is a legitimate rush) and my clients know and appreciate this.
