"I sometimes happily work on projects due next week thinking I am ahead of my game, while forgetting the mammoth job due this Friday."

"I only have a few minutes to respond to job requests from translation agencies - not enough time to really calculate whether it can really fit around my current committments."

"I need to take time off next week but have no idea whether I can still meet my deadlines."

"If I need to have Project A done by January 31st and Project B by February 12, what is the best way to work on both of them so that I am not behind on project A or pulling all-nighters to complete Project B at the end?"
