Does it ever feel like nobody takes deadlines or promises seriously anymore?
I’m not casting stones, but the importance of a deadline seems to be lost on far too many people. One doesn’t need to look much further than our nation’s capital to see the impact of missed deadlines and broken promises.
Embracing my inner nerd, I visited History.net to discover the potential origins of the word deadline. According to author Christine Ammer, the “first written record of the word [deadline] appeared in an 1864 report by Col. D.T. Chandler.” However another report to Col. Chandler from a Captain Walter Bowie[1], describes the seriousness of a deadline. He describes a line inside Andersonville Prison inmates could not cross. “On the inside of the stockade and twenty feet from it there is a dead-line established, over which no prisoner is allowed to go, day or night, under penalty of being shot.”
