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")

Paging ... how do you make a project SMART when there is no natural deadline? Fake deadlines don't work.

Key is to realize ALL deadlines are fake. They are all arbitrary, invented, human fabrications. Knowing this, you can get creative

That's not real, it's just a preference for launching during the most efficient time

Nope, launch windows are not merely efficient, they are the only feasible periods for some mission profiles like Mars. Binary.
But then the choice to do those missions becomes the constraint. So for personal: choose more binary projects could be an approach

But it's actually not choosing, as if projects are just lying around. Project definition can change, subject to human creativity
