deadline: a date or time by which something must be done or completed.
meet a deadline: have something finished on time.
miss a deadline: not to finish something on time.
'When you’re trying to meet a deadline,every moment counts.'
'I was doing too many things at once so I missed some important deadlines.'
There is an idiom which means 'to hurry to meet a deadline or to do smething quickly'
= 'fight against time'
There is another idiom which means 'to do something before a deadline; to finish before the time is up'
= 'to beat the clock/deadline' or 'race against time'
'We had to race against time to finish before the deadline.'

Hello Bulent ,
A 'deadline' is a time or date before which a particular task must be finished or a particular thing must be done.
If you 'meet something' such as a problem or challenge, you deal with it satisfactorily or do what is required.
So the sentence means:
" I am trying to do and accomplish the required important task at or before the date determined for this task to be finished."
