Today I finished an item-writing task with several hours to spare. There’s nothing like a tight deadline to help me get my work done, and to make me feel like I’ve accomplished something when I meet it.
I suppose my housecleaning benefits from deadlines in a similar way.
In what area do deadlines help you?

i'm glad you finished and met your deadline! deadlines are ESSENTIAL for me. i think they always have been.
The problem for me when I wait for the deadline to get busy is that there is so much stress then involved in the hurry, hurry of it. Yet,if the task is undesirable it takes a deadline to even get me going! Lately, I've tried to back deadlines up and do things little by little so as to avoid that ever increasing nemesis of anxiety.
