Deadlines…Can You Beat Them?
January 2, 2022
According to Google, a deadline is the latest time or date by which something should be completed. In my own terms, a deadline is a certain time in which something, in most cases work, must be submitted. Personally, I don’t like deadlines because I think people should be able to work at their own pace and it adds extra stress to one’s life, but I understand why they are put in place and why they are needed. Students, including myself, will sometimes take advantage of the fact that the work isn’t due immediately and will wait until the very last minute to turn in the work, which makes the grading for teachers a lot more difficult. Dhirubhai Ambani once said, “Meeting the deadlines is not good enough beating the deadlines is the expectation.” Meeting the deadline is being average, but beating it makes you better.

Procrastination usually hinders people to meet their deadlines. Deadlines in general, are a product of procrastination. Usually I wait until the last minute to do a task or the very minute it is announced.

I feel like the implication that one should beat deadlines is sort of grimy, because it encourages people to give the least required in order to meet some time limit, rather than use all of the time afforded to them in order to create the best product possible.

Although the deadlines are meant for a reason, to prevent students from procrastinating. I find it quite difficult to meet up with the deadline of some classes assignments

I also dislike deadlines, but I understand why they’re placed. If work does not have a specific date to be turned in, then students will probably ignore the work until there is some form of penalty.

I agree, I take advantage of the fact that work isn’t due immediately and decide to procrastinate way too much.
