Must Impose a Deadline

Now that I'm out of school, I'm finding that it's easier to tell myself that I'm going to write something and then start but not finish. When I had deadlines for class assignments, I could sit down and bang something out. Now I have no such deadlines, so it's harder to sit down and bang something out.

So now I've got to discipline myself to set deadlines. I know it's also easy to push back deadlines, but I think I have a solution for that. I'm going to write a deadline down on my calendar. It'll be tangible and in my face.

I'll let you know if it works.
