What to Do When You Know You’re Going to Miss a Deadline

There’s nothing more infuriating (not to mention unprofessional) than, “Oops, I missed today’s deadline. Can I turn it in next week?”

It happens to the best of us. Maybe the design work you thought would take you three hours is taking more like 13. Maybe Taco Tuesday turned into Food Poisoning Wednesday.

In any case, you’re going to miss a deadline, and you know your boss, your customer, or whoever else you owe your work to is not going to be excited.

Keep an eye on your inbox. I’ll follow up this week with a few tips on handling a missed deadline. Meanwhile, enjoy a replay of one of our Monday Minute Videos from last year.
