Doublecheck Your Deadlines

Ok, I admit it. I am a procrastinator.

Admission is the first step to a cure, isn’t it? It usually isn’t too bad being a procrastinator. An approaching deadline inspires me to buckle down and finally make that masterpiece (hopefully!) that’s been lurking in the back of my head.

So, I had looked at the deadlines for a couple contests in April and put them on the calendar months ago and put the dates in the back of my mind. One was the 4th and one was the 15th. And of course I completely switched them in my head so that I thought the one I really wanted to enter (Bead Dreams) was on the 15th – plenty of time! Except it isn’t – it’s the 4th. I realized when I turned the page for the calendar. Doh!

At least it’s an online entry so I can still send something in. It just won’t end up being the piece I was thinking of making if I’d had the extra ten days I thought I had. Oh well, now where’s that application to Procrastinator’s Anonymous? Maybe I’ll send it in sometime ;)

    Oh boy, can I relate to this post! I put deadlines out of my mind until they are either impossible to meet or crazy close. I never did get around to working on the design I had in mind for Bead Dreams. I wasn’t going to submit anything, but I sent in a couple of images yesterday.
