Missed a deadline, never felt better

I like to structure my blog as much as possible so that it forces me to keep it consistent. Sometimes it even stresses me out. Last month (September) I was stressing out over what The Ides of September post might be, and I had better get it done. I've been trying to get stuff done at night ever since I got home from Aruba and didn't have time to write what I wanted by my self-imposed deadline. I decided last night that I will blow off this deadline and not care about it. The funny thing was that the second I did that, I felt so much better. I have so many more important things to do that this was a completely unnecessary source of aggravation. Blogging should be fun, not work. I made it about having fun last night. It felt good.
