No later than
If you’ve been told to do something NLT a certain time or date, it’s a big hint to get your act together and deliver on time. That’s because NLT stands for “No Later Than”. It’s a deadline and it’s usually paired with a specific day, date, or time – or even a mix of all three.
But it’s not just about telling you when to get things done. It can also be used to tell you when something will be ready for you. So, if your workmate, let’s say Bob, tells you he’ll have the budget reports ready for you NLT 3 pm, it means you’ll have those reports in your hands by the end of the workday.
In simple words, NLT is a clear cut-off point. It’s a way of saying “This is the latest possible time, don’t miss it!”
Example for using ‘NLT’ in a conversation
Hey, can you finish that report for me?
Sure, when do you need it?
NLT tomorrow morning, please 📆⏰
Got it! I’ll make sure to have it ready by then. 📝✅
