Project/task deadlines for your benefit

Having more time to deliver on a project or think of better ideas or finish a task does not necessarily lead to better results. Many times we can achieve quality output within a short amount of time, creative idea(s) can flow pretty quickly, and you can finish tasks much faster than needed or initially thought it would take to complete.

Setting a deadline to deliver on a project/task can be one of your productivity tools.

If there’s no deadline, you might spend time lingering around than really diving deep into the project/task, lose momentum, lack on motivation or desire or completely forget about it etc.

 

 

The foundation

A lot of projects get started. Some big and some small. Yet, I believe the right team can make all the difference and the project’s foundation is very important.

I have been part of many projects including planning company events. Most recently, I was part of a team that organized our company’s annual gala. Our first organizing team’s meeting was full of excitement, energy, and fun. I felt great about being with this team right away. That same level of excitement and enthusiasm carried over to the following meetings leading up to the gala. The day of the gala arrived and we all delivered on our parts. The gala was very well organized, finished on schedule, and everyone had a great time. I credit the organizing team and the amazing group of volunteers for pulling off such a feat.

Starting with the right team will do wonders.
