Stress: The Silent Killer with Taylor Cashdan

Do you push yourself hard? Do you live for the fast-paced, deadline driven life of a designer? Are you regularly waiting til the night before and staying up late to get the project done? Does it feel like nothing is ever planned out and you are always pushing, pushing, pushing to try to make it work out for the client? Do you secretly love this lifestyle?
