I appreciate the tips especially the part of being realistic and meeting extending deadlines. I have a tendency to cram but I guess I have to learn to budget my time and priority.

What helps me sometimes is pausing to check my schedule, even if I'm pretty sure there's nothing on it! It gives me time to think about the commitment I'm making, and to be more realistic. Of course, I'd need to be running my life from my schedule, which takes a bit of practice (at least a Yellow Belt in "Scheduling" from my estimates.)

Success comes to those people who can manage their time according to their priorities. It is due to the fact that they can finish doing important tasks at a certain period of time without rushing things and without becoming reckless. Great site!

But if you can tell us, how do you get a client or customer to supply their input and ideas in a timely manner? We have one who has taken over six weeks to approve one layout for a product (he's changed the whole concept three weeks ago) and is acting like our business is merely another department of his own. I understand customer service but people who placed orders weeks ago are still 'thinking' but at the same time want their finished products by the original delivery time. HELP!!!
