Paralyzed With Too Much To Do
Have you ever felt like you had so much to do that you don't know where to start? I've got that feeling, big time, and have had for a while. So much writing... so much web work... so much other stuff... sometimes I just want to crawl under the blanket and only peek out when I smell fresh cookies being baked.
Too bad life doesn't work that way.
So, after much waffling, I've made the decision to just get through it and power through what I need to power through. Fulfill the obligations so I can do what I want to do, rather than what I think I'm obligated to do.
Alas, one of the biggies (two, really) involve BZP. The site needs a software upgrade (which will probably break some things until I put them back together), and I need to get the skins finished from the art contest we had a while ago. There are a lot of things involved with both projects, and they're intertwined. The sheer volume of it, and wanting to not interrupt the site during the day, has kept me from actually doing the upgrade, but honestly, if I don't do it at my convenience, it just ain't a-gonna happen. So instead of staying up until 2 a.m. to upgrade the site during its least busy period, I'm going to pull it offline when I have a few hours during the day to work on it. At least that way it'll get done. So look for some downtime in the next couple of days.
There are other things going on too... the more pleasurable tasks of writing stories about my trip to visit TT Games in the UK; more writing for LEGOFan's "Getting Started" section; stuff like that. But they're still out there, patiently waiting for me to do them (when all I really want to do is spend my time trying to get that elusive last bonus canister in the "LEGO Star Wars 2" demo, or ride bikes with my kids). And there are some bigger long-term projects I want/need to get on with, but don't feel that I can while I have all this other stuff hanging over my head.
I've just gotta learn to say "no".
Anyway, the point of all this is that the forum and blog software will be updated in the next couple of days (hopefully), and there'll be several hours during the day when you can't get access. I'll post a note on the home page. Some things will likely take time to get back in, but I'll try to make it mo' betta' than it was.
Really.
