Why We Always Overestimate What We Can Get Done – The Truth About Deadlines


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you plan to achieve far more than you actually do, only to be disappointed by unfinished tasks and missed deadlines? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, I open up about my own struggles with setting unrealistic expectations—for myself and my team—when it comes to getting things done. I share hard-learned lessons about planning, delegation, and why giving yourself (and others) a realistic buffer is essential if you actually want to deliver on time.

From my perspective as someone who prides himself on strategic planning, I discuss what often goes wrong with deadlines, the rules I now follow to make projects achievable, and why doubling your estimated completion time might just be the key to finally hitting your goals. There’s also an important reminder about why this journey matters—raising funds and awareness for saving children’s lives through our marathon vlog challenge.

If you’re tired of unrealistic expectations derailing your progress, this episode is for you. Let’s get real about what it takes to get things done!
