This week on Office Hours, Isaac and TK answer these listener questions: 1) How do I balance doing great work with needing to meet deadlines? 2) How do I balance my initial excitement over a project with the annoyances of dealing with demands along the way? Also covered in this episode:  - Being better than the good expectations of others - The notion of realizing your potential is actually a trap - How constraints can enhance your creativity  - The importance of framing expectations when agreeing to do a project - How to trust your past self -- reminding yourself that you chose to commit to something because you were excited about it. If you're no longer excited, trust your past self and that you committed for a reason - How your language automatically changes when you don’t see yourself as a victim in the world
