Listen "22_The power of a deadline-Productivity Series"
Episode Synopsis
If you have handled any major or minor project, you would realise that every task has a way of expanding to consume the time allotted to it. This is the reason why, for instance, people who have two weeks to turn in a job sometimes linger until the last three days to get it done. It is crucial to understand the importance of having a schedule with time and resources allocated. While it is sensible to ensure that one has a fairly reasonable allotment of time to each task, it is a known fact that when we just let things float along, not much will be accomplished. Have you ever wondered how come you tend to get more accomplished just a few days before a holiday? If you’re anything like most people, you will smile when you think about how true this is. That is the power of a deadline.
