We like to bully deadlines. Pick on them; make fun of them; even spit on them sometimes. But what a terrible thing to do. Deadlines are actually our best friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Deadlines aren't bad. They help you organize your time. They help you set priorities. They make you get going when you might not feel like it.
There are always deadlines I have to meet. I don't let myself get too close to the deadlines, so it's not like I'm just sweating bullets or anything if the clock is ticking. I never let myself get in that situation.
I don't have these crazy deadlines. I don't have this, 'Oh it's got to be out tomorrow.' I don't like working like that.
Having deadlines helps because people are constantly breathing down my neck, and tapping their toes waiting for pages. So I just have to work nine to five. If I didn't have deadlines then I might be more of a golden hour kind of guy, writing from eight to noon and calling it a day, but that's just not the way I work right now.
One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.
I don't believe in deadlines, I don't believe in telling the enemy when we're going to withdraw.
I crave deadlines. If I don't have a deadline, I become a total slacker, which is why I always have so much on my plate.
You put deadlines on people you really don't want, because that's how you feel about them.
Deadlines are meant to be broken. And I just keep breaking them.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
