How do you handle deadlines? Do you disregard them? Do you honor them? Do you treat them seriously?

This can be personal deadlines (such as “I will shampoo my whole carpet by the end of the month”), or ones for work. If you supervise others, do you hold them to their deadlines?

Isn’t the world full of deadlines? Bills are due by a certain date, work deadlines exist at most, if not all, jobs, one has to move out of one’s apartment by a certain date, etc.

Do you know anyone who treats deadlines as a joke? Who thinks they are only a suggestion?
