'You'll always take as much time as you give yourself to get it done.'
Deadlines...
Love them or hate them, they were created for a reason, but I want you to consider a different approach for a second...
(a.k.a deadline) you looked at how to be more effective but with a lot less effort (a.k.a efficiency/trimming the fat)...
This is key to destressing and finding more fulfillment in what you do.
