Quick – do you have a deadline looming? Something you are in charge of doing, producing, leading, or creating? How does it feel to you?

Looming deadlines don’t usually feel very good, and thinking about all the steps that still need to be taken in order to meet that deadline can be very stressful. That nagging little voice in your head can start in with the “you’ll never make it” and “it’s impossible” and “what makes you think you could ever do something like this” kind of talk.

Think back to when you were a child and an adult scolded you – did you try to avoid their eyes, and avoid hearing and responding? That’s a human response to stress, so now fast-forward back to right now, when the adult you is feeling stressed about the deadline. Are you avoiding thinking about it, avoiding moving forward with it, and maybe even avoiding asking for help with it?

Again, that’s very human, and it won’t get you across the finish line triumphantly.

Look at whatever it is that needs doing and make a decision – can you hit that deadline or not? If the answer is yes, then make a game of getting organized, getting things done, and getting help if you need some.

Now, doesn’t that feel better?
