The Importance of Deadlines

Deadlines are basically unavoidable. There is a deadline for everything. Especially when it comes to school or work situations. But the bad thing about deadlines is that they tend to sneak up on a person. I have countless deadlines that are thrown upon me in my school situation. I have a deadline when I wake up in the morning. I have to be ready to go and totally prepared for school by 7:50 otherwise I will be late for school. I have to be at school and in my seat by the deadline of 8:20. I have to have my homework turned in or be prepared for a test at a certain time, my school has a deadline for how long it runs, I have a deadline to turn in a scholarship application, I have a deadline to apply for college, I have a deadline to finish my lunch at a specific time, I have a deadline to finish this blog. We even have a deadline that our body gives us to blink and breathe. In the work situation deadlines become extremely important. You have to be to work on time, there is that deadline again. You have a deadline to get something done, you have a deadline of what you have to get done in a day. Deadlines can become very stressful to some people. But others are actually benefited by deadlines and seem to work better when pressured to get something done. Think about it, are you hurt or helped by deadlines?
