Acharya Prashant addresses the common struggle of students who procrastinate and feel overwhelmed by deadlines. He explains that the existence of a deadline is an indication that an individual is not yet mature enough to work independently or out of pure love for the subject. Instead of viewing deadlines as external impositions or burdens, one should humbly acknowledge them as internal requirements that provide necessary discipline. He suggests that 90 to 95 percent of human knowledge and achievement is often gained because of deadlines. By respecting deadlines, an individual cultivates self-respect and sincerity, eventually finding joy in the process of meeting them rather than waiting for the task to end to find happiness.
