tfw when you need to be in deadline mode to finish something but no natural deadlines in sight 😕 have you solved this yet?

Nope. No way to fake a deadline. Like setting your watch 10 mins fast to be on time ... you can't fool yourself.

Links to any solid research on psychology of deadlines? Do probabilistic deadlines work? ("earthquake prep: do it before next big one hits")

Probabilistic is an interesting idea. How to prioritize defusing a ticking time bomb, given chance of explosion & resulting destruction?

wouldn't the earthquake prep be analogous to insurance, or an option?

Sure, but then you can ask same question about all insurance: no natural deadline to act, just continued exposure to higher risk
right but the bet you're making is start paying premia now vs paying premia later (when it's too late)
