Did I ever suggest that being a phd student was more stressful than running a state or a country? No! I was merely using a personal experience of paper deadlines as an example of how timelines help produce work. Also it seem to me that you have a skewed idea of what a paper really is. The papers i'm referring to are either conference, journals, or proposals which are much different than the papers you right in undergrad. Right now i'm involved in the writing of a research proposal that will hopefully bring in a million dollars to the university. If we don't get this we have to fire multiple staff and students. You dismiss this process as if it isn't stressful which is absolutely ignorant on your part.
