Friday 5: Deadlines

When was the last time you had a serious deadline to make, and did you make it?  Actually today was a pretty big deadline for a bunch of Teacher donated Silent Auction and Raffle items I had to organize and create display stuff for.  I am done and have been since last night and I don’t need it till 1pm today so I think I did well!!!

Do you generally plan for deadlines, or are they more likely to sneak up on you until you’re frantic?  I try really hard to plan for my deadlines but they often come a bit faster than I’d like and the part that drives me nuts is when I have to rely on others to complete my part.  They often look at the task differently than I do and it can’t always meet my thoughts of a plan.

When did you last set a deadline for someone else, and did that person make it?  I can’t say I’ve ever set a big deadline for someone else but I do set up plans fr the family and I think we tend to meet most on time.

How flexible and understanding are you when it comes to other people meeting your deadlines?  Like I said it’s not persay others meeting my deadlines because I really don’t have chances to do that in the things in my life but I do struggle in waiting for things from people to be able to do my part on something. 

What were the circumstances the last time you hung up on someone in the middle of a phone call, or the last time someone hung up on you in the middle of a phone call?  I can not say as I have no clue….
