If your to-do list appears to be never ending, then allocating deadlines could drive real results. Goals and deadlines work to motivate you towards accomplishment and success.

Deadlines are not only set by the super-organised, ruthless project manager. They are used by people who need to schedule tasks in a timely manner to ensure the job gets done. Deadlines keep you driven towards completion.

Deadlines encourage you to focus on your goals. And, when set realistically, can offer an amazing sense of achievement when a task has reached its completion.

Additionally, deadlines counteract procrastination. Setting an end-date to a task will motivate you to start and progress to a satisfactory conclusion. You won’t be left wondering when you can fit in various tasks that are of importance but offer little in the way of fun and excitement, such as housework!

By applying an end-date to a task, you accept all accountability for its completion. Deadlines offer you a sense of responsibility and the motivation to live up to your duties.

It is vital you set realistic deadlines. Anything too challenging could lead to failure, which undermines the entire exercise of careful planning. When setting yourself targets, inflate your time estimation by 15%. This allows for any flexibility that may be required due to emergencies or illness, for example.

If you truly want to improve your time management, ensure deadlines are allocated to every item on your to-do list. They focus the mind, motivate you through the progression of tasks and offer a sense of achievement and well being on task completion.
