Beat Procrastination and Meet Your Deadlines

Here are some tips for beating procrastination and meeting deadlines:

1. Set specific and achievable goals. Break your larger goals into smaller, more manageable tasks and set deadlines for each one. This will help you stay focused and on track.

2 Create a schedule. Map out a schedule for each day, week, or month, and allocate specific times for completing each task. This will help you stay organized and prioritize your tasks.

3 Eliminate distractions. Remove any distractions from your environment, such as noise, clutter, or electronic devices, to help you stay focused on your work.

4 Seek support. Tell someone about your goals and deadlines, and ask for their support and accountability. This can help you stay motivated and on track.

5 Stay positive. Remember that procrastination is a common problem, and it's okay to make mistakes. Keep a positive attitude and remind yourself of the benefits of meeting your deadlines.

6 Reward yourself. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem.

Overall, the key to beating procrastination and meeting deadlines is to be proactive, organized, and positive. By following these tips, you can overcome procrastination and achieve your goals!

Medical Editor Goes Back to School for a Good Cause

John Essex, consulting medical editor at Peak Medical Editing and artist Eli Norwood enlist as substitute teachers for Sycamore Elementary School.

Peak Medical Editing’s John Essex has signed up to be a substitute teacher when editing deadlines allow him to help the local school stay open amid a staffing crisis.

From the Avon Community School Corporation:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have learned the true identities of the heroes among us. Thousands of unsung heroes have worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to serve friends, family, neighbors, and communities. They have helped in innumerable ways during difficult times.

Two more Avon heroes, John Essex and Elijah Norwood, recently revealed their identities when they signed up to become substitute teachers at Sycamore Elementary, the school their children attend.

Here’s the full story.

The service I need is marked “temporarily sold out/available soon.” What is going on?

If the service you need is marked “temporarily sold out/available soon,” we are at maximum capacity for this project size during the enrollment period. We are sorry about that, but this is what we must do to avoid sacrificing quality in favor of quantity.

Because of the nature of our service, we strive to deliver the highest quality editing possible. This is a double-edged sword because the more exceptional work we do, the more authors and organizations are finding out about our service and requesting projects. We have a small team of editors by design, because every project receives a final review by John Essex, Peak’s owner.

An employee or contractor does not have the same level of dependency on quality as an owner, and this will always be reflected in the work.

Instead of growing our numbers and allowing for the possibility of dips in quality, we have established rolling two-week periods of service with a set number of projects available every two weeks (barring Holidays).

Except for Holidays, we generally reopen orders every other Monday at 12 pm noon (US Eastern time). Specific dates and times of the next availability will be posted in announcement pop-ups or banners visible when visiting peakmedicalediting.com.
