How to Handle Pressure: Writing Under Deadlines
So the first thing I thought of when I saw the post topic is
where did the word deadline come from, anyway? So I did a little research,
turns out there are two explanations and both are quite suiting. The first is
the original usage of a ‘dead line’. During the civil war the term was used in
a literal sense. There was a yellow line drawn outside a prisoner’s cell. If
they crossed the line for any reason they would be shot on sight, no questions
asked. Hmmm interesting, sometimes we feel that way about a looming
deadline.
The other use of the term deadline was, as many know, in the
newspaper industry. The deadline was the time a writer had to submit their
articles for the piece to make the evening print run. Kind of the same
scenario, get it in by this time or the story dies. With as fast as the news
cycle turns if a writer didn’t make the deadline for their article they could
have wasted hours or days on a piece that would never be printed.
Writing under deadlines is all about perspective. We give
ourselves deadlines for almost everything we do. Whether it be eating dinner at a certain
time, or handing in an assignment, or submitting a blog post. What you need to do, the time you have to do
it and the plan to make it happen. I never do well with waiting until the last
minute, but sometimes life makes it unavoidable. Although I will say even if I
do not start writing until the eleventh hour, I’m usually pretty prepped and
ready to roll.
This post, for instance, I was planning to have this
completed by July 1st, but life got in the way. I’ve been thinking
about what I was planning to write, mulling it, churning it and deciding about
what would be the best approach. There are a couple of different ways to go. I
needed to choose one and dive in! So did I wait until the eleventh hour or have
I been working on the piece this whole time? All about perspective.
A deadline, like a bully, is only scary if you allow it to
control you. The trick is knowing how to take control and master it. To master
anything you have to have a plan, so when things do go haywire you can push
through with your plan in place. So how
much time do you have? How much work lies ahead? How much research? Every piece
of the pie effects the plan and the actions you take in completing your task
before the deadline.
In today’s society I have found deadlines are not taken as
seriously as in the past. If someone was given a deadline that was it, make it
or break it. Now I find we are given extensions, delays and pardons for not
meeting our goals. I take deadlines very seriously as a work ethic and a sense
of pride. Meeting a deadline is a reflection of my dedication to my craft and
my own values. I hope others will, if they do not already, think of these
factors when working with a deadline.
Artistic
self-indulgence is the mark of an amateur. The temptation to make scenes, to
appear late, to call in sick, not to meet deadlines, not to be organized, is at
heart a sign of your own insecurity and at worst the sign of an amateur. Harold
Prince
