If you don't learn because you are curious and motivated to know something but because there's a deadline, you probably won't learn well.

These aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. You might be curious about something, but also e.g. constantly distracted by video games, with the deadline helping you to actually focus your effort and get started on the thing you're curious about.
