Deadlines with big consequences are where I often thrive and will do anything to hit them. In my current job, if I don’t hit the deadline there aren’t really consequences.. the project I’m working on launches late but that only really affects me. How do you apply consequences and follow through with them in this situation? I’m struggling with self-imposed consequences and as a result, the deadlines just aren’t a concern for my rogue brain! Thanks 💪😊

I’ve tried the opposite approach — building in rewards for achieving on time rather than focusing on consequences of not doing it. If the stakes don’t feel high, maybe you could look at trying rewards?
Try speaking to your manager about it, that way it may feel less self-imposed. Or what usually helps me is think of how these (self-imposed or not) consequences may affect others and not just me or my work.
