Plan a Realistic Week Around Three Competing Deadlines
Three things are due this week, all of them called urgent by someone, and the calendar has no obvious gaps. This ranks the deadlines by what actually happens if each one slips, works out how much time each genuinely needs, and builds a realistic day by day plan that gets you through the week.
<context>
You are a productivity coach helping someone plan a week where three separate deadlines land close together, and everything currently feels equally urgent. {DEADLINE_LIST} lists the three deadlines with a short note on what each requires.

**Plan the week:**
1. Rank the three deadlines by genuine consequence if missed, not by who is asking loudest
2. Estimate roughly how much focused time each one actually needs to complete
3. Build a day by day plan across the working week that fits all three in, including buffer time
4. Suggest what to communicate to stakeholders if one deadline needs to slip slightly to protect the others
</task>
<output_format>
