I'm not a big fan of productivity tips, but I often read about Parkinson's Law, and it works.

Not setting deadlines means a paused journey—small projects take too long and eventually feel stagnant.

The first time I read about Parkinson's Law, I set extremely strict deadlines, which didn't work. Later, I switched to flexible deadlines, and I started working with a relaxed mind. As a result, I always get things done before the deadline.
