Everyone hits that point where they feel like they’ve fallen behind in their degree program. Are these deadlines your advisor has set for you? What are they based off? In my experience, truly inflexible deadlines in academic research are uncommon. Professors will almost always try to go fast though. Best thing for you to do is remain calm and continue to be thorough with your work. Little trouble will come your way if your efforts are solid but progress is slow. Research is just slow.
