This week yоu were аsked tо reаd а shоrt article titled "Procrastination, Deadlines, and Performance: Self-Control by Precommitment" by Dan Ariely and Klaus Wertenbroch. It describes a research experiment meant to answer three research questions: (a) Are people willing to self-impose meaningful (i.e., costly) deadlines to overcome procrastination? (b) Are self-imposed deadlines effective in improving task performance? (c) When self-imposing deadlines, do people set them optimally, for maximum performance enhancement? To answer these questions, the authors asked research subjects to self-impose binding deadlines on what task(s)?
