kbordson 8 #1 September 28, 2006 Spent the last four years working my tail off and had this whole summer to write just one little chapter of a text book. One lil chapter.... instead I've been to WI, Phili, NYC, DC, South Dakota, Florida (NASA and Disney) edit to add - TX and motorcycle stuffs.... and just started the chapter yesterday. The official deadline is 1 Nov... but that's final copy submission date. I had set 1 Oct as final draft date...... Damn. HELP.... I need motivation.

DavidST 0 #2 September 28, 2006 I always do my best work under pressure. If i've got a month to do ten minutes worth or work it never gets done. But if i have ten minutes to do a months worth of work it usually turns out great.As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.
