I agree up to point 4, then I'd say creating artificial deadlines can work two ways: You're either a very ordered person, your deadline is large and with no pressure, this deadline is a tool that helps organise your day OR you might put a deadline for somethig you have to do (some kind of obligation), and it can quickly transform into a timer where you rush the content to finish in time.
