Let Nature Choose Your Deadlines: How Focusing on Structure Beats Focusing on Time

In this episode I discuss deadlines, and the critical difference between the artificial ones we create to manage our lives, and the real ones dictated by nature.

I discuss how our manufactured deadlines run counter to the natural rhythm humans use to create, and how we need to somehow reconcile our modern use of manufactured deadlines with the realization that good solutions only exist at nature's deadlines. 

I spend time describing nature's deadlines as high points in complexity, and put forward what I think is the best way to ensure we build what nature expects while still meeting the deadlines we create.
