I know that I made a commitment earlier this year to post code tips and resources most weekdays. I kind of indicated it there, but will make more clear that I intend to follow that commitment as best as I can, but know that some weeks I will just plain fall short.

This week and last have been two of those weeks already. I can use the excuse of having other projects that take precedence (I do), or that I’m writing in other places with more pressing deadlines (I am). But I did tell myself, and in that last post, all of you reading, that I would be posting more regularly. This week was also shot, and while I have plenty of half done posts, following through seems to be my issue.

Still, the other part of that commitment was that any progress on that goal was better than standing still. For some reason I find that when I take on larger challenges I end up getting more done than if I reduce the scope of those goals. I’ve heard that people who maintain more commitments are happier and more successful over all than people who don’t keep any. I often feel that I’d be liberated by dropping all commitments and starting fresh, but there’s a reason that I keep lists of “maybe someday” projects always nearby.

I can’t say that I’m more motivated now, or that I’m not concerned that this won’t happen again. I can say that though I’ve got a lot of self-imposed deadlines on my plate, I’m glad to be able to make time for this in the first place.

I’ll see you next week!
