To survive Monday mornings, you need to master the art of the brainstorm...

"Brainstorm" is a closed compound noun. Over time, as compound words become more common in English, they often evolve from two words (or hyphenated words) into a single, closed word.

...and never miss a strict Friday deadline.

"Deadline" is also a closed compound noun. Writing it as two words ("dead line") changes the meaning entirely, and hyphenating it is incorrect.
