It's funny, on my job, different people are given different 'deadlines'.
Let's say all the work is REALLY due at noon on Friday.
Some might be told noon Wed, some noon Thurs, some 9 pm Thurs, and a few can be told the correct "noon Friday."
The goal being, all the work is submitted on time - or in some cases, seemingly late, but not really.
I don't know why life has to work like that.
Can we institute different 'deadlines' for different voters?
:)

... the tactic is at least an open secret, maybe even public. And yet the tactic works, at least it works a little. [Yes, confirmed by HM]

Regarding 196 Howie, I do much better on a get it done today type deadline, than on a get it done in 3 weeks type deadline, especially if it's only a couple of hours of work that needs to be done over the 3-weeks.
I say this in all seriousness - any tips on how to get better at that? And I don't mean the 'just do it' type of advice, that doesn't really seem to be working so well.
I've got a Franklin planner (even took the one-day class), I understand time management, etc.. Generally I don't miss deadlines, I'm very good about that, but I definitely bump up against them more often than I should. Would like to fix that.

I struggle with that myself. Very hard to eliminate distractions especially when you feel that you have time to be distracted. I've considered incentives-based motivations, but have been unable to enforce it upon myself - how do I become my own judge, jury and executioner?
(I suppose this will appear as #202 with my quotation from #193-200 as #201 --not displayed now even after I refresh the page.)
I dunno about you guys, but I need to look at my ballot and try to remember what the hell I was thinking.
