Deadlines are part of life. We all face them at some point - in school, in work, in life in general. While they can be stressful, sometimes the pressure is good.
I have been studying for the Human Resources Management DSST recently, and it has been very slow going. I finally just scheduled the test for next week. Now that I have a deadline it is amazing how much more motivated I am to study! :-) That's one way deadlines can actually help us - we can channel the pressure they create to improve our performance. They also help us to prioritize and better schedule our time.
How do you deal with and use deadlines?

I was the same way with tests... if I didn't have it scheduled, I didn't get much studying done. Good luck on your test!

Deadlines really motivate me too. I scheduled most of my tests several weeks in advance. To add to the pressure, I scheduled like four of them at one time - each 1 to 2 weeks apart. lol I don't think I was ever so productive as I was during those few weeks.
Thanks for your comments! It's nice to know that there are other people out there who have the same issues with motivation :lol:
And I passed! :-D
