Creating Artificial Deadlines To Prevent Procrastination

The other day I was rushing to finish multiple projects in one day where usually I can finish one which leads me into the late night and right after I would head to bed. However, one thing funny was that because I knew I had to finish two items I actually finished the first daily item way faster to the point where I had five extra hours left to do the other. More than enough to comfortably finish both. The thing is, this shows if I had that mentality each day I could literally finish the first project way faster.

The main issue is usually in my mind I only have one item to finish and so I go at a slower pace. Not worrying if I have to check messages as an example or watching a quick news clip that came up. In the situation where I knew time was of the essence all the other stuff was blocked out as I had to stay on track. The only other factor of course is that it is a little more stressful, but it makes me think where if you just pretended you have a tight deadline each time you could literally finish it way faster and have a lot of time to spare.

That could open up your time to do other activities or even ventures too. Heck, maybe having multiple ventures can be a good thing to a certain extent as it will keep you busy and focused from those other distractions.
