lagilmanI just spent three hours dealing with things that would have taken, total, half an hour if I had dealt with them when they came in and not shoved them into the "I'll deal with this when revisions aren't eating my brain" pile.
Damn it, I hate repeating a grade of Life. But if I can be a Life Lesson to y'all, so be it.
It's very easy to think "I'll plow through on the book, and everything can wait until I get done." Because yeah, sometimes that's a good plan, and sometimes everything can wait.
But sometimes it can't. And stopping for fifteen minutes really isn't going to destroy your momentum. Really. Especially if you're in a project that's taking more than 2-3 days.
(thankfully I managed to avoid any financial or personal* crunches from this. But that could easily not have been the case...)
Now? I'm going to shower up and head into town and do some Celebratory Drinking with friends who just got engaged. And then tomorrow, it's back to work again.
*I have discovered that this is both a plus and a minus two being a two-workaholic relationship. Good, because the other understands 12-hour days. Bad, because when you're both on a tear, as we often are, it's tough to remember to say "okay, tomorrow we're playing hookey...."
