Well, the good news is that we basically did everything we needed to do for the big deadline today. There are still a few bits that need tidying up, but they're waiting for actions from other people, and will only take an hour or so of my time later today.
The less good news is that my ability to keep my productivity levels high was pretty much dependent on that deadline, and now the less urgent stuff that still needs doing feels a lot more oppressive. And although the crunch has now passed, it would be really helpful if I could maintain normal productivity levels for the next couple of weeks until my holiday. I'm not going to beat myself up if that doesn't happen, but it will make life more practically difficult for me if I completely hit a wall now, so I'm hoping there's a balance that I can find between ploughing on in utter misery and doing nothing.
