You’re reading this in March, but that doesn’t mean I wrote it in March. In order to avoid a perpetual deadline panic, I write the next month’s blog posts a month prior. I tried writing as they were more current, and I tried writing only once a week(ie, doing three posts on a Sunday night). All that did was lead to gaps and shitty posts. I figured I had no choice but to write the month prior if I wanted to maintain the consistency of posting three times a week, no matter how few of you read the blog regularly. Yes, I leave room for breaking news, but that’s rare enough to not be worth holding up the entire blog for it.
I bring this up to say that February nearly got away from
me, and that’s because it’s a short month.
True, only by three days, but I was used to having more time. You see, I write down blog subjects on a
scrap sheet of paper as the ideas come to me, and I write three or four when I
get the chance. Often, that chance comes
later in the month than I’d care for – working to break my non-writing inertia
is always challenging – but in a short month, that chance is a smaller window
than normal.
No, not griping here.
Just wanted to bring up that we all have to plan our time and be aware
of its restrictions. When working with a
deadline, that matters. How do you
handle it?
