You put deadlines on people you really don't want, because that's how you feel about them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
I've worked my whole life and never missed a deadline.
I used to think that deadlines should be ignored until the product was ready: that they were a nuisance, a hurdle in front of quality, a forced measure to get something out the door for the good of the schedule, not the customer.
I am one of those people who thrive on deadlines, nothing brings on inspiration more readily than desperation.
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.
One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.
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.
Deadlines are meant to be broken. And I just keep breaking them.
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.
