Deadlines

My project has revolved around deadlines. That has been a strategy that my mentor, Mr. Nelson, and I have used to tackle the large project that Clara and I set before ourselves. Each trip serves as a deadline as well, because we have to make sure that we know what we're doing. When they are material things, or meeting with other people, I have been able to meet those deadlines. However getting into the media lab to edit has been challenging, and I have found it hard to meet those deadlines that I set for myself. I often also get stuck on revising parts that I've already edited, and nothing new gets done. Things get better, but nothing new.

In general deadlines work well for me. Even if I pull an all-nighter the day before the deadline, I feel much more pressured to do the work. It also helps me a lot if other people are depending on me to do the work, cause I don't like to let other people down. When it only depends on myself, I'm not letting anyone down if I don't do it. Clara and I both have that need- that's why we work so well together.
