I have this... problem. When I fall behind on something -- whether it's returning a phone call, processing photos or finishing a project -- I seem unable to simply regroup, complete the task, and move on.
No, I end up paralyzed by my "undoing." I have an incredibly hard time re-motivating and acknowledging that sometimes, things just slip. I beat myself up while simultaneously ignoring the problem (a real gift, I tell you) until it's no longer front of mind or it no longer matters. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this is not an ideal way to deal with life's projects, and usually ends with hurt feelings, irked collaborators, and a unhealthy dose of self-loathing.
That, unfortunately, is what happened with this bloglet. I'd stare at the TypePad UI, not knowing how to say, "Sorry I missed a few days. Sorry I didn't keep my 365 promise. I'm doing the best I can."
I want to change this personality trait. I need to change it. So, today I try again.
Sorry I missed a few months. Sorry I didn't keep my 365 promise. I'm doing the best I can.
