When you have others asking you to finish work by a certain date, the timelines are imposed upon you.

You can complain about them being too tight, but the fact remains – you have a timeline to finish your wor,k and people are depending upon you.

Set the timeline for yourself, and only you are depending on you.

Oddly enough, despite our anger, it’s when others depend upon us that we push ourselves harder to meet a timeline, irrespective of whether they are mean or nice about it.

So the question becomes – can you treat yourself and your timeline as if you were delivering for someone else?

Or will you let your deliverable slide once more.
