When it comes to the writing process, it becomes cumbersome and discouraging. Having to write about something I have no desires to write about is very taxing to say the least. I happen to enjoy the research aspect of the process, only because I love to learn new things. Surprisingly writing has never been my thing, until I learned of its power. Academic writing is not something I fancy, however I do enjoy writing poetry. When I was younger and had more time, I dabbled in poetry. Poetry for me is freeing and therapeutic, because I am able to speak my mind and release any frustrations.

Deadlines! What are they good for?

In order to know what deadlines are good for, one must know the meaning. A deadline is the latest time or date by which something should be completed. Since early childhood, my parents forced my brother and me to adhere to deadlines. No, they did not require business plans or printed reports. They only required us to complete our chores/ homework prior to playful activities (e.g. playing video games, going outside, watching television, talking on the phone). When it comes to deadlines it would behoove you to meet it/them, giving there are always consequences for not meeting a deadline. Time truly is money, so consider that when you miss a deadline.
