Deadlines do not scare me

Deadlines do not scare me. I let go of worry and concentrate on getting things done.

I am relaxed when faced with deadlines because I plan ahead and break my task into manageable pieces. I know that procrastination only makes things more difficult for me, so I start on a project as early as I can in order to ease the pressure as the deadline approaches.

I let go of the idea that things will just come together and instead take the time to make solid plans. I decide early if I’m going to need more supplies, more research, or more help. This way I have the time to find just what I need in a relaxed and thoughtful manner.

I organize my steps, dividing the task into pieces that I know I can handle. I am far more productive when I choose to do a little bit every day, than if I save it all for a last minute crunch.

I know when to delegate and have people lined up who can help me if, despite my best efforts, I find myself in a bind near the end of a project. Because I have taken the time to help them when they were the ones in need, I know I will be able to count on them to help me.

I am proactive. By approaching each project with care and thoughtfulness, I am confident that I will be able to reach full completion without undue worry.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Am I proactive or reactive when faced with a deadline?
2. Do I give myself time to deal with unexpected issues that might arise?
3. Have I fostered a team mentality by my own willingness to help others so I can get help when I need it?

Time Affirmation

Time is my friend.

Time is my friend. I work with it, enjoy it, respect it, and make the best of it.

While I have an abundance of time in my life, I choose to both enjoy and respect this wonderful gift.

I have so much I want to accomplish and, by planning carefully, I can ensure that I have the time to do everything I desire.

Thinking of time as an hourglass is not representative of the way I view time.  Instead, I imagine all of the sands of time spread throughout an enormous desert.  I can see time extend in every direction.  I know that I have the time to accomplish everything I desire.

I place priorities on the goals in my life.  The things I most want to accomplish are given my attention first.  This allows me to make sure I have the time to do the things that are most dear to me.

Certain tasks in my life may need to be completed in a limited time frame and I accept that.  I give myself deadlines and I stick to them.  This ensures that I do not waste my valuable time.

When I work with time and respect it, I have the ability to balance my life. Giving myself the time to pursue my personal desires, to fulfill my work responsibilities, and to devote attention to my family are important uses of my time.  Learning how to balance my time is important.

I am thankful to have found a friendship with time. By making the most of the time I am given, I am able to make the best life for my loved ones and myself.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    Have I prioritized the goals in my life so that I can make time for the things that are most important to me?
2.    How can I remove time wasters from my life?
3.    Do I respect and value the time I have been given?
