This week,
I have deadlines coming out
of every orifice.
I’ve been working on my own
all summer
but yesterday, by far,
was my most productive day.
That I have my most productive day
during a time of multiple deadlines
isn’t a coincidence.
Nothing motivates like a deadline.
If you’re spinning your wheels,
accomplishing nothing,
give yourself a deadline.
Better yet,
give a trusted friend permission
to hold you to that deadline.
Make the penalty for
missing that deadline
steep.
Then hustle your butt
to meet it.
