Abstract Synopsis
- People often procrastinate but try to combat it by setting their own deadlines, which can be costly and intentional.
- Self-imposed deadlines generally help improve task performance and motivate people to start or complete tasks.
- However, people do not set these self-imposed deadlines in an optimal way for maximum benefit, making them less effective than externally imposed deadlines.]
