Deadline is the deadline or deadline for something: the completion of work of any kind, the deadline for submitting an order, the final date for submitting material, and the like. This word comes from the English "deadline", which literally means "death" and "line" ("dead" and "line"). In this case, the deadline is the deadline date or time. And the English word "dead" is used here for a reason. It additionally emphasizes that the appointed date and time are final - this is a kind of "death line".
If we talk about the scope of this term, then it is used almost everywhere. For example, in sports, the deadline is the time until which you need to finish the match or game, as well as the last day when the player has the opportunity to transfer to another team or club of his own free will. In medicine, this term is used to fix the maximum possible date for the implementation of any therapeutic measures. For example, in order to designate the deadline for an abortion. For the area of advertising, the cut-off date is used as a term limiter for the offer,provided to potential buyers, clients or partners. This is necessary in order to once again provoke the consumer to immediate action, to stimulate in this way to make a purchase.
If we talk about the use of the term "deadline" exclusively in the business field, then today experts in the field of effective work time management distinguish several main types of deadline. The first is the urgent type, which means such work (or order) that must be completed as quickly as possible. The implementation of tasks of this type always takes much more effort than usual, so they are often associated with double rewards. 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 stage, it will be possible to proceed to the next one. And the third type is periodic. The recurring deadline is the way most journalists or advertisers operate, requiring them to turn in new material every Monday, for example.
Every modern person faces one or another type of deadline during his life. In order to avoid constantly thinking that the deadline is approaching faster and faster when this situation arises, there are a few little tricks. First, if possible, you need to share a lot of work (order,project) into several parts. Secondly, it is necessary to have a good idea of the goal and clearly plan all the stages 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 be no confusion in thoughts, which means that it will be possible to think through everything well and make the right decision without fear of the upcoming deadline.
