I dont know about you but I am the kind of person who finds a deadline gives me motivation, until it is looming I often find it hard to get focused, most of the time this is fine, a little bit of stress and pressure but under control is good, but then of course you get to one of those stages when suddenly there are several deadlines looming around the same time, and you cant do all of them at the last minute, Im sure I need sort out my time management maybe that would help?
