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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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