I think one of my most important work lessons was deadlines are almost always not real.

But some level of work ethic is certainly important. You don't need to work 80 hour weeks but you need to actually get your work done within a ballpark of when you said you'd get it done.

For many of us in manufacturing the deadlines are very real. I actually like them. I do my best work under deadline as it forces me to focus.

Without deadlines most people won't accomplish anything.
