Time is a Luxury, but Deadlines are Still a Capitalist Construct.

Although time is a luxury, I often need extended time and occasional yet natural breaks specifically to focus my mind and to keep on track. I also need time to focus, network, collaborate, and imagine myself, regardless of any external circumstances that may exist on the contrary. Especially with my personal experience as a neurodivergent individual, I believe that deadlines are a capitalist construct, specifically existing to stigmatize the marginalized autistic group that I belong to.
