Falling Behind




Since I've fallen behind I bring you this.

How to catch up when you've fallen behind

1. Let yourself be angry.
                                         
       I'm pretty upset with myself for letting my blog get this far behind. I'm angry that I have had all this extra      
       time these last few months yet I haven't been using it wisely. I'm disappointed in the fact that I didn't take a personal project seriously enough to work on it consistently.

2. Now that that's out of your system, move on.
                                                         
       Sitting here thinking about how I screwed up isn't going to make a time machine appear and whisk me away to fix it all. The best thing to do is to figure out why I didn't accomplish my goal, address it and more forward. I didn't update my blog because I didn't find it important enough to work on, to make time for or to update regularly.

3. Meditate and collect your composure
      Understand why you didn't accomplish your goal and figure out where to go from here. I realize that not posting regularly doesn't get me any closer to documenting my life or reaching out to people.

4. Manage your goals and expectations
    Maybe updating every day is too difficult, maybe working out every day is too much. So scale back just a touch. Just a touch. Don't forget what your goal is but maybe be more realistic about it. Setting the bar too high can some times set you up for failure. So instead of doing something every day, try every other day, or maybe even once a week, then work up from there.

5. Don't give up
    Just because you've messed up this time doesn't mean you can throw your hands in the air and just give up completely. It's never to late to fix things and catching up is always cool.

6.  DO IT!
                            
    Now that you've taken time to be upset and gotten it out of your system, figured out what went wrong and then possibly re-worked your goal GET TO IT!
