- It all may come as a shock to you Harvey. But I know a thing or two
about pushing down (подавлять) feelings. You just cannot expect to
have a funeral (похороны) and it all be over. It is okay to give yourself
a break.
- Since when you became so wise?
- Since spending all of these years with Stan. I know you don’t have Mike
now, but you do have me.
- Thanks, Louis, that helps.
- But right now we’re at war. And what do you say we do to end this thing?
Answer the questions:
1. What is this video about?
2. Was Harvey being rude?
3. Do you think people need to keep each other in the loop while working
on the same project?
4. Can people perform well under stress because of personal agenda?
Exercise 379. Read and discuss the article. 8 Simple Ways To Never Miss

deadline
1. Understand that you can’t do everything at once. Being a hard worker
can sometimes be a double-edged sword (оказаться палкой о двух концах):
You want to say yes to every assignment thrown your way, but then you end
up overcommitted (слишком упорным). Professional organizer Christina
Hidek sees this all the time. "I’ve found that with professionals who are
educated and smart, there’s a tendency to think that they can do it all, and this
leads to people trying to do more than time can really allow for, causing
lateness (опозданий)," she says. Whenever you find yourself wanting to say
"yes" to something you know you don’t have time for right now, think of this
quote from media executive (руководителя СМИ) Kate White: “You don’t
have to do everything at once. Think of yourself as a serial achiever. You’ve
got time!”
2. Stop underestimating (недооценивать) how long tasks will take. When
you say to the boss, "I’ll have it done by 7 p.m.," odds are (скорее всего), you
genuinely (искренне) believe it. But if 7 p.m. comes and goes and you still
haven’t finished, you may be underestimating how long it takes to do
something (or, in a less flattering (сглаживающую) version of events,
overestimating your own ability). “Start keeping track of your time and looking
at how long tasks actually took to complete versus (в сравнении с) how long
you thought they would take,” Hidek says. “Once you see the time difference,
make adjustments (корректировки).”
