If asked when you can deliver something, ask for time to think. Build in a margin of safety. Name a date. Then deliver it earlier than you promised.
The world is divided into two classes of people: the few people who make good on their promises (even if they don' t promise as much) and the many who don't. Get in column A and stay there. You'll be very valuable wherever you are.
