Something a little different tonight
Usually, I write my blog around 11 PM and then end up short on sleep. So I'm doing something a little different tonight—a blog written around 10. It's a step taken toward fighting the addictive nature I have.
I can always find one more thing that absolutely has to be done before I start my blog. Usually, they're things that can easily be put off. Sometimes they're things that don't need to be done at all.
I could have put another hour into optimizing tonight, but that will wait until tomorrow. It's pointless to start your own business so that you can be your own boss, only to find that the work is controlling you instead of you controlling the work.
A good rule of thumb: when you start feeling that you absolutely can't put your work aside, you most desperately need to.
