Failure

This was a failure fairly similar in nature to missing my prototype goal last week. I'm basically just a bit overloaded at the moment. Between the prototpes, writing, other work, and that statistics courase I'm doing, it's been very easy to get off track. I generally think being busy is a crutch, but I'm also not convinced that my current level of activity is actually too much if I can learn to manage it better.

I'm also hopeful that in some ways this current time pressure will serve as a testing ground for the way I'm doing things. For something like the prototypes, I would normally like to have a more developed habit before testing it, but I'm happy enough to make hay from this situation while I can.

My solution to my most recent failure, ensuring I was a day ahead, worked particularly well for the week I kept it up. I didn't make the same commitment for the following week because I thought I might not need to. Evidently, that was not the case! So, in the interest of following where the evidence leads, I will once again commit to finishing Monday's post on Sunday.

With any luck, I'll come out of this with better and more resilient habits than before. If not, I guess we'll all need to get used to a lot of failure posts until things calm down. Let's hope for the former!
