A day without deadlines… is a wasted day.

3:17pm Friday
Saint Paul

I’ve spent the better part of today on LinkedIn… and watching business videos from Ben Settle… and generally ignoring the work I had planned for today.

Basically: not writing.

Eew it doesn’t feel good.

Now I’m not even supposed to be working today, so it’s not like I’m shirking any responsibilities.

And the work I had planned doesn’t have a deadline.

So putting it off doesn’t “hurt” me. Except of course… it does, because even without a schedule, everything is behind.

Deadlines. They drive action. They drive decisions. They drive sales.

And you can use ’em on customers… clients… and yourself.
