About this title

When facing a deadline, do you feel under the gun? It’s a common feeling. In fact, the word deadline has been associated with feelings of anxiety since it's origins during the American Civil War. Lines were drawn around prisoner of war camps. If a prisoner crossed the line, he was shot dead. Hence, the phrase “Deadline”. Formerly Known as D calls us to change the language we use when describing upcoming commitments and provides two strategies for managing them with less stress.
