A deadline can be your most powerful ally or your worst nightmare.
That’s the bad news.
The good news is the decision is yours.
Since you’re One Smart Cookie, I know you chose Ally, because, well, who in their right mind would intentionally seek out their worst nightmare?
All joking aside, for writers, there is no better ally, no better friend, than the deadline.
And not just big deadlines like your First Draft Deadline, Final Draft Deadline or your Publication Date… but little tiny deadlines too, like a 15-minute deadline to write a blog post or a 30-minute deadline to write 500 or 1,000 words (your choice).
These mini-deadlines are powerful motivators because they push you to accomplish more in less time.
One task, one deadline, repeat.
It’s called time blocking – setting a specific amount of time aside to complete a single task.
