Most of you who know me will admit...sometimes, follow through is a challenge with me.  I mean, it's all well and good to say, "Yep, I'm gonna get XYandZ done today."  But really the important thing is actually ensuring that XYandZ get done, right?

And that's frequently where I get tripped up.  Take the whole writing every day thing.  Yeah, not happening so much.  Part of it I can blame on the workload, sure.  When I do get free time, it's pretty hard to use it for stuff other than vegging out.

But that's the point, that's what has to happen.  The difference between someone who writes and someone who gets published, starts with managing time in such a way that things get done.

It's a puzzle to me, because as most of my employers will tell you, follow through isn't one of my "opportunities."  But when it comes down to a situation less structured, things sort of melt into a stagnant puddle of unproductive goo.

This week's project?  How to start wet-vaccing that puddle.

Puddle? What puddle? And I know what you mean about wanting to get so much done but not being able to because you just want to squeeze as much down time into remaining sane. You and I both do better with structure. Whenever it's up to us we just, like you said - veg. I love you baby! We can work together on these things :)
