Reverse procrastination: a passage from the book.
You know this about yourself already, which is why the question isn't whether you believe it. How many deadlines have you given yourself for this business? Count the ones you announced to nobody, the ones written in a notebook, the January ones, the birthday ones, the ones attached to a round number, and then count how many of them arrived and passed without a single other person knowing that anything had been due.
From chapter 11: Fourteen days

Tell them what you've sent, tell them when you sent it, and tell them you'll show them whatever comes back on a specific date inside the fortnight.
