Need Motivation? Declare a DeadlineAT a meeting last Tuesday, I told my colleagues that I would finish this column — which is about deadlines — by noon on Thursday. I spent part of Tuesday afternoon searching the word “deadlines” on Google, but didn’t make much progress. By late afternoon, I felt a tiny knot of fear in my stomach. What if I let my co-workers down? So I wrote something silly just to get started. This paragraph. Making that declaration was a good move, as it turns out. Publicly committing to meeting a deadline is a powerful motivator because it puts your reputation on the line, said Mr. Ariely, a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University and the author of “Predictably Irrational.” People respond well to deadlines because meeting them provides a distinct feeling of having achieved something within a time frame. “It’s a good way to keep score,” Professor Ariely said. It is possible to motivate yourself, he said, by announcing a deadline to others — perhaps on Facebook or on Twitter. Not meeting the deadline would then feel like breaking a promise, he said: “It does say something about your character.”
