Nothing beats having a deadline to get things done. Not that I need incentive to work, but without the red light flashing things will just rest quietly under the pile and soon will be forgotten.
Under pressure, almost anything is possible. Where does the energy come from? All of a sudden the mind is clear and focused and action action action!
Sprinting toward the finishing line I often swore that it would be the last time I procrastinate. A friend advised, “To be on time is to arrive early.” It is definitely wisdom, but the mind seems to need an extra shot of adrenalin from time to time. There is better way to get that than to have a deadline.
