Demotivation
9 o'clock, February 17, 2005
If I could pick one of my personality flaws to eradicate (others of you who know me might choose others), it would be this one: When I fall behind on something, my natural reaction is to avoid thinking about it, let alone doing anything about it, and so fall even further behind. Case in point: it’s time to admit there won’t be an Irrational History this week. I’ll try to make it up to you.
Meanwhile, you can read this Iain Banks interview on Salon.
I've found, with these kinds of projects, that if you can't get it done, you can't get it done, and maybe you need to give yourself a more relaxed schedule. I have the same problem you do, and if I miss a couple of deadlines, I just end up giving up entirely, unless I get more relaxed with myself. Just a suggestion. I'm sure we could all live with one every two weeks :)
