I'm tired but I'm still managing to stay focus. If I have enough done by 2 I'm going to nap - yes, nap! Just like a little old lady. I don't know that I LIKE deadlines but man oh man I do need them.<br />Jen- you're right - fortunately once I get going I don't seem to treat them any differently.Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722012954806248529.post-1540670457046289982011-01-06T11:55:01.428-04:002011-01-06T11:55:01.428-04:00I have a nasty habit of reading and editing when t...I have a nasty habit of reading and editing when too tired. Of course, if I didn't, I'd never get anything done because I'm ALWAYS tired!!<br /><br />Deadlines are marvelous things! I need to get better at honoring my own deadlines. It seems I take those imposed on me by others more seriously than the ones I impose upon myself. They're bot equally important!<br /><br />Cheers!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722012954806248529.post-16726867470693011952011-01-06T11:31:51.025-04:002011-01-06T11:31:51.025-04:00You know, I always was bad with deadlines.
