How To Increase Creativity... Set Deadlines!


Deadlines are something all of us face from time to time. We face deadlines whenever we set even a small goal and commit to accomplish it... that's when deadlines becomes important and valuable to us.

Why is a deadline so important?... Without one... many of our projects would, be put off, or eliminated completely. The closer we get to a deadline the more our thoughts, ideas, imagination and creativity go to work to help us meet the deadline.

Daily... many of us set goals to start projects, complete and send out ezines, finish articles, or finish writing a sales page for our websites. How many times do we put it off till the last minute?

Then we remember, were committed... and have a deadline to meet on the project. That's when deadlines show their value and importance. Because, a deadline gets our juices flowing with new thoughts and ideas so we can get into action and complete the job... sometimes at the last minute.

Even small goals take commitment and deadlines to accomplish. Either they're important enough, to make a commitment to doing at a certain time, or we eliminate the goal completly.

My ezine goes out on the 4th and 18th of every month. Some times a day or two before it goes out... the deadline gets me into action. Thoughts, commitment and imagination go to work to motivate me to complete it on time ... and my ezine goes out at the specified date.

The importance of a deadline is easy to overlook . I hadn't realized their value, or hadn't thought much about it until writing these comments. Without any kind of a deadline on projects ... I wonder how many would get completed?

Have you noticed as you get closer to a deadline, you become more creative? Deadlines cause our thoughts and imagination to become active giving us ideas to get the job done before the deadline.

Deadlines are what causes us to get into action... sometimes at the last minute, to complete a project or goal we set with commitment days before.
