Deadline is the deadline or the deadline for anything: doing any kind of work, the deadline for the order, the final date for submitting the material, and so on. This word comes from the English "deadline", which in literal translation means "death" and "line" ("dead" and "line"). In this case, deadline is the limit date or time. And the English word "dead" here is used not accidentally. It further emphasizes that the appointed date and time are final - this is a kind of "line of death".
If we talk about the spheres of application of this term, then it is used almost everywhere. For example, in sports deadline is the time to which you need to finish the match or the game, and also the last day, when there is an opportunity for a player to voluntarily move to another team or club. In medicine, this term is used to record the maximum possible date for the performance of any medical intervention. For example, to indicate the deadline for abortion. In the field of advertising, the limit date is used as a limit to the validity of a commercial offer provided to potential buyers, customers or partners. It is necessary in order to once again provoke the consumer for immediate action, to stimulate in this way the purchase.
If we talk about the use of the term "deadline" exclusively in the business sphere, then today the specialists in the field of effective work time management singled out several basic types of deadline. The first is an urgent type, by which is meant such work (or order), which must be executed as quickly as possible. To implement tasks of this type, much more effort is usually expended than usual, so they are often associated with obtaining a double reward. The second type is a phased deadline, associated with the gradual delivery of several orders or the gradual implementation of various types of work. In this case, only after approval by the customer (employer) of the current phase, it will be possible to proceed with the next step. And the third type is periodic. A repeating deadline is the principle by which most journalists or advertisers work, when, for example, every Monday they need to hand over new material to the management.
With every type of deadline, every modern person encounters during his life. In order to not always think constantly about the fact that the deadline is approaching faster, if there is a similar situation, there are a few tricks. First, if possible, you need to divide up a lot of work (order, project) into several parts. Secondly, it is necessary to clearly represent the goal and clearly plan all the steps to achieve it. Thirdly, it is very important to ensure that the surrounding space (room, table) is clean and tidy. If there is order around, then there will not be any confusion in our thoughts, which means that everything will be well thought out and will make the right decision without fear of the future deadline.
