Unfortunately, it usually causes me to blow up! :) And you're right - we are lucky to have all of these opportunities, we just need to be intelligent about which ones we take on. Thanks for the compliments and the comment! Kelly - It is a great metaphor... you've got my encouragement on the run (or walk, or crawl.) And thank you for for commenting and giving me some encouragement. :) AgentSully – I’ve tried expanding into more than one person quite a few times.

I've been thinking a lot about this while I'm training for a 10k, I did it specifically for this purpose...because actually before last week, I hated running and never worked out unless I was on a cruise (and since I've only been on 1 cruise...well, not such a good strategy). Anyhow, I have a deadline for the 10k and I'll either be ready or I won't but I'm going to finish that 10k walking, crawling, or jogging...just so I finish my goal. It's a metaphor for my start up as well...for all of us, isn't it. My mentor told me not to write a book last week. He said most books stay on the shelf unread, what people WANT is to fulfill their goals and some accountability. I agree! I want to be that for other people, I want that for me too... Thanks for the post. Make a Wish, Make it Happen, Kelly, Start Up Princess Thank you for this!!

Last Friday I was dragging. It was because I was behind on my deadlines. And I was behind on my deadlines because I had more demands on my time last week. Sometimes I somehow think that I can just expand into more than one person and get it all done, but then I trip and realize, argh, I can't get it all done! :-) So what did I do? I wrote a post on playing hooky, because that's what I needed. I needed some rest from my own harsh slavedriving and I needed to lighten my mood. Playing hooky was just the thing I needed! It made me smile again. We're all human. It never is easy, but I think as we learn and pay attention some things do get *easier.* And Life Is Good. That is for sure. Even when it stinks, we're all so lucky to have these opportunities. Excellent blog! Best Regards! I can relate. Last Friday I was dragging. It was because I was behind on my deadlines.

After publishing the post, I was thinking about the difference between the times when I've done the things that I didn't want to, but did anyway, and the times when I just let them go. It looks like a lot of it boils down to accountability. I've got a Google Calendar reminder set to hit up Wendy's <a href="http://www.emomsathome.com/blog/2007/05/29/monday-motivation-tuesday-style/" rel="nofollow">Monday Motivation</a> post next week.

I know exactly what you mean about constantly setting deadlines and not achieving them. One thing that finally worked for me was posting my todo list. Almost every monday I make the trek over to Wendy Piersall's site and post my gotta do list. Since I've started doing that I'm meeting my deadlines.
