+    Do you have a deadline or a goal?
+---
+
+Does your task or project have a deadline for completion?
+
+Is there a date that it must be completed by?
+
+Or, is your "deadline" an arbitrary date that can be moved?
+
+If so, you don't have a deadline.
+
+You have a goal.
+
+Understand and be clear whether you have a fixed deadline or a flexible goal.
