Are We Motivated By Deadlines?

By: Rebecca McInroy

The way we respond to deadlines varies quite a bit. Some people fall apart when they’re up against a deadline while for others deadlines help them focus, and then there are those for whom deadlines don’t seem to matter at all. So, as with most things in science, the answer to the question about if deadlines actually help to motivate us is, it depends.

In this edition of Two Guys on Your HeadDr. Art Markman, Dr. Bob Duke, and Rebecca McInroy talk about deadlines and motivation.
