A story comes in, I do my research, conduct the interviews, and then write the story - all usually within a day's time. However, deadlines do not just apply to my freelance work. Deadlines apply to every single aspect of my life. I'm on deadline as a teacher - preparing lesson plans in time for class to start. I'm on deadline as a mom - rushing to get to soccer practices and dance lessons by the time each one starts. I'm on deadline as a home owner - keeping the house clean, the family fed, and the dog away from our valuables. Deadlines are draining and sometimes a royal pain.

Do you consider yourself to be the person who likes to have things laid out for you the next day -- not so much for the fun of it, but because you like the feeling of going to sleep knowing that you accomplished more in that day than most people accomplish in two or three days?

Today's problems are the consequences of yesterday's actions. Constantly solving problems (a past-oriented activity) does not leave you much free time to take actions that create the future. The solution is to minimize your problem-solving activities and the need for problem solving.

Regardless the industry, position one holds, function you are in, or size of company, it is critical to take being on time seriously.

Procrastination can effect all areas of your life, like school, work, chores, family time, and more. Overcoming procrastination can be difficult, but possible. There are three areas where procrastination is begins. Addressing these areas will be a starting point to fighting this debilitating behavior.

For purposes of this forum, the "should" get done is presumed to be something you want, could, need or should get done, and is not the "should" of false obligation (as in, don't should on yourself!).

The typical office worker is interrupted every three minutes by a phone call, e-mail, instant message or other distraction. The problem is that it takes about eight uninterrupted minutes for our brains to get into a really creative state. The result, says Carl Honore, journalist and author of "In Praise of Slowness," is a situation where the digital communications that were supposed to make working lives run more smoothly are actually preventing people from getting critical tasks accomplished.
