Not just setting a deadline, but then actually submitting my work afterwards. As you say, otherwise there's no reason to ever stop tinkering with the same piece. Stopping by from the A-Z challenge, and happy to follow you.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900383840255608898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-745587915125584832012-04-04T15:58:30.832+00:002012-04-04T15:58:30.832+00:00Sounds like a good plan.

Without a deadline, all the boring home stuff and husband's work stuff get priority, but when I have a deadline I wave it at the crowd, shut the door and get on with it!Rebecca Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474010455394752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-12786330330909764282012-04-04T09:21:54.746+00:002012-04-04T09:21:54.746+00:00Yep, I'm a bit of a deadline junkie too.

I have had experiences with too-tight deadlines that I wouldn't deliberately repeat, but they certainly concentrate the mind on the task at hand.<br /><br />I wonder if (and I'm generalising, naturally), it's a woman thing. Haven't we always got something else to do for someone else? I know I'm guilty of editing for the husband or dressmaking for the daughter ahead of my own work.Nicola Vincent-Abnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865608045342419682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-5408406362741914642012-04-04T08:32:49.408+00:002012-04-04T08:32:49.408+00:00Thank you for commenting Kate.

It may sound naive but I had never really considered that the reason I start things and never finish is because they don't have deadlines. I just put it down to being so easily distracted. But it makes sense, because when I have started projects with deadlines, I just get on and do it. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
