Set a Deadline 设定进度

I am always late getting my homework done.
If you set deadlines for yourself, that wouldn't happen.
I would still have a lot of homework to do.
But you would finish it on time.

我的功课总是在最后一秒才完成的。
如果你给自己设定进度的话，这种事就不会发生了。
但是我还是有很多功课要做啊！
可是你可以如期完成。

解说：

set deadlines. 这是"设定进度, 订定截止日期"的意思. 有习惯为自己规定进度的人, 通常都能准时完成工作, 所以应该尽量"替自己设定截止时间" Set deadlines for yourself. 另外, 如果你打算替自己做人生规划, 例如: 几岁之前要结婚, 什么时候要存多少积蓄..等, 也算set deadlines.

例句：

Next Thursday is the deadline I have set for getting the car fixed.

下星期四是我修车的最后期限。
