OK. I got that out of my system. I just wrote a whole blog post about how I didn’t want to complain about writing a weekly blog post.

It came across as very complainy.

Luckily I had the good sense to not post it right away. I waited two days and now that post is gone. With some time to reflect, I can now say how lucky I am to have so many projects and the time to work on them. And, I can say that with honesty.

If any of you ever hear me complain about having a lot to do, you have permission to give me a little slap. Note: Please make it very little as I have a low tolerance for pain, and I abhor violence. Thank you.

That all said, though I do feel lucky to have lots to work on, I am only human. I have moments of stress. That’s what this all boils down to. I give myself an aggressive work load with deadlines. I meet all of those deadlines. Sometimes at the last minute. Often I am tempted to change these deadlines. After all they are not “real.” I just made them up for me. But I don’t change them and push through.

Personally, this is how I get things done. Without those deadlines, I would do nothing. So I give myself the stress (which is actually very rare), but it all balances out. Truthfully I think I would have more  stress without the pressure of deadlines because I would beat myself up about not completing anything. We all find what works for us.
