I dislike working up against a deadline. I do not mind having a deadline imposed, but I want enough notice so that I do not have to work up against a deadline. I do not like the feeling of stress and pressure that creates.
That is not true of many people, and for some people, working against a deadline is what is required to motivated them to perform. Some people even think that by working against a deadline, their adrenaline flows due to the stress, and they perform better.
There are other people who are so not disturbed by deadlines that if they miss a deadline, it does not change their feeling or reaction. I do not understand this, either. I feel I should be dependable, reliable, and make what commitments I incur.
Each of us has a different style. There is nothing wrong with that, and in fact, it is probably very important for survival that we all have different styles. The important part of this is to recognize, acknowledge, and accept that we each have different styles about deadlines.
