1. Without deadlines, we are useless
Last week I had a day without meetings and phoned - I thought I'd spend it on your blog. Instead, I watched a video on YouTube, Facebook and sticks to read something on the Internet. And all because I did not set myself a specific deadline for the task.
With the deadline I write to blog twice.
Postponing the case on an abstract future, you're just wasting your time. Need limitation, otherwise you will never implement their plans.
2. Deadlines can be set independently, and it is very effective
Saturday at my schedule - day materials blog. I try to write as much as possible, and it's damn hard. Deadline to which everything must be ready - 17:00 because at 18:00 we go to dinner with a girl and she is very angry if I'm late.
This is a very fortunate coincidence. Appointed at the end of a hard day romantic dinner not only reminds me when to stop, but the rewards for the work done. In the evening I understand that labor is not in vain and idle.
If you do not like to respect other people's deadlines, assign your own. Add a schedule not only the right thing to do, but the reward. Also think out the punishment for the failure of the deadline - so what for me is angry and offended girl.
3. Deadlines are reminded that time is limited
To be effective, you need to learn not to lose concentration, regardless of what time it is and what the weather is outside.
The best time for business - always now.
The next time you say to yourself, "I'd rather do it later", take his words with suspicion. If the deadline is not defined, it seems that the problem can be postponed almost indefinitely. But this is an illusion: digital entertainment will eat a day faster than you dopote his coffee.
4. Deadlines transform lazy in zeal
Our brain is afraid of the discomfort and pushes us to the choice of vacation instead of working. Resist the unpleasant part of our work naturally for him, so we often lazy and prokrastiniruem.
Deadlines help the brain adjust to productivity. It's simple: the sooner we get the job done, the sooner we get a well deserved rest. Here's a clever trick.
5. Deadlines make the impossible possible
I love deadlines for the fact that after the operation they become simple notches - the marks of the passed way.
Sometimes we are told that we dream of the impossible, and our chances of success are slim. But when you see the number of closed tasks, you will realize that they have become a little closer to the goal.
I never thought that I would have the time, creativity, enough knowledge and interesting stories to become a blogger. It seemed like a pipe. But specific tasks and deadlines new habits They gave me the opportunity to discover and develop your blog.
Deadlines help to more clearly see the target and resist laziness. Just learn how to work with them.
