Are Schedules and Deadlines a Help or a Hindrance?

Hi Reader

January went like that.

And February's the shortest month, so make the most of it!

Our Start a Blog Class of 2021 are all launching blogs. I'm excited to preview some of them on International Start a Blog Day next week. Join me!

This week at ProBlogger HQ we've been fine-tuning some email sequences and working on our editorial calendar. How about you?

Dreams without deadlines are dead in the water. Deadlines are really lifelines to achieving our goals.

— Mark Batterson

They can be incredibly motivating for some bloggers, who do their best work under pressure. But for others, schedules and deadlines are crippling. Panic sets in, and stifles creativity. Then there are those who would never have completed high school or kept a job if there weren’t any deadlines. So deadlines can be your friend or your enemy.
