					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for this! It encourages me about my own process. I give myself deadlines all the time but rarely make them. Then I feel like a slug. I have to keep reminding myself that even if (when) I don&#039;t meet those deadlines, I would make no progress without them. So they at least give me a destination that I will eventually reach.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Love this, Janice! I feel bad at times not setting more deadlines and hitting them, but I also know that making an overall plan and then just focusing on weekly or daily goals (without self-punishment, even if I don&#039;t meet those) is what results in my highest productivity. I needed this reminder and your tips! Thank you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wow, Janice, thank you! Uh, but how did you get into my head? Self-imposed deadlines could be my middle name. Anyway, thanks for an essay that is making me think. You&#039;re out of my head now, right? Hello? Hello?]]></description>

The odd thing is, I always did, too until the last several years. I was a creative director for 20 years, and had deadlines every month. But with writing, I realized the deadlines were hurting, not helping. The little tasks worked so much better.

If deadlines works for you, totally use them. Everyone is different. This is just an approach for those who find deadlines less motivating :)]]></description>

Thanks! It&#039;s so easy to do. And when we compare ourselves to other writers, it&#039;s even worse. It doesn&#039;t matter if the &quot;other writer&quot; writes full time and has two assistants to help. We still feel pressured to meet the same standards.]]></description>

Most welcome :)  It&#039;s the pressure that often gets us. The more stressed we get, the less we get done. Goals, not deadlines! So much better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I really like this kind and left-brained approach to setting goals, Janice. I have to admit I thrive on deadlines and find them motivating, but I know that they can as often serve as a whip to flagellate ourselves with, and that&#039;s no good for creativity. Thanks for a good post!]]></description>
