Some of you guys are misunderstanding me, I also enjoy the challenge of solving real problems.
But mix that with the pressure from your employer and deadlines and you get even more stress.
This is what I'm referring to.
How do you deal with that?

From the simpsons... Hank Scorpio: I'm gonna leave everything to you. We're on a tight schedule. You keep them motivated. [he leaves] [his staff is busily working] Homer: [to staff] Are you guys working? Man 1: Yes, sir, Mr. Simpson. Homer: Could you, um... work any harder than this? Man 2: Sure thing, boss. [they do]
Also relevant if your self-employed. In that case you must not be creating realistic schedules for yourself.
If I'm doing some project with a hard real deadline say, 3 months away. I'll arrange my timetable to have everything completely finished at least a week early cus I know, something or other will crop up at end end.
In conclusion perhaps scheduling/planning/timetabling issues are the route cause here. If you arent self employed you should definitely bring this up with your employer. If they are even halfway decent they should take this very seriously.
ps. I've only been working in software for a few years now but I have a good few years of experience working as an architect (building buildings) Architecture is all about project management and stuff always goes wrong! + If you delay the project everyone sues your ass off!!
What I do varies based on the situation… but one of the most surefire ways of making headway through difficulty or just frustration is pair programming.
