As of right now I haven't really settled on a topic that'll allow me to move forward on my project. I have a topic, but it's too general. Anyway, my topic is procrastination. I'm not so sure how to expand on the topic, but I feel like working with the idea of eliminating deadlines to reduce procrastination. Hopefully I can move forward with the idea.

My viewpoint hasn't exactly been thoroughly examined, my choice was more or less a gut feeling. But looking at it now, what would happen if deadlines were removed? I've personally messed up. Long projects tend to be shoved off to the side if it's importance is thought to be little. Why do it today if you can just shove it off for tomorrow. By thinking like this you've essentially screwed yourself. Long term projects are mean't to be done long term, done over an extended course of time, not over night. On the other hand, by removing deadlines, you remove the anxiety involved with having a "date" looming over your head. This might be reason enough for the individual to start on the project. If given a comfortable environment he may just decide to get to work.

So again, I haven't explored my idea thoroughly and so I don't exactly know how I'll work in the the various perspectives. The best course of action, I believe, is to be honest and upfront about the topic, and not holding anything back (when I work in the various perspectives).
