Usually when someone is starting out resources are often a challenging as it can get very expensive to have the right equipment to do what you need in a professional way. One situation that was surprising to me was how one person had access to almost everything he needed whenever he wanted yet he was very unproductive in actually getting things started. I was then talking to others how that’s probably due to the lack of fear and urgency as there is no real reason for him to rush it. If it was a regular person renting the equipment for example the time is money factor would be more prevalent.
Giving yourself some kind of deadline is important I feel as you have some kind of basis to know if you are going too slow as an example. At the same time if you are the person offering something for free to another it can be a great way to make sure they don’t take your product or service for granted. That should ultimately mean they would more likely be productive with their time.
I know for myself the deadline urgency is more about how in many cases the faster I get things done the better chance I have many times in getting a competitive advantage of sort. That means more results for essentially the same work. Like most people if I don’t have that mentality that task could sit on the shelf forever.
