Time To Convert Back

Categories
Entertainment Blogs

I have previously blogged about my conversion from a “procrastination queen” to an “early doer.” In the past, I thrived on completing my work immediately prior to its due date. Now, at work, I generally complete my tasks several days early. And as Mitch can attest, I usually have my blogs posted by Saturday morning or, at the latest, Sunday morning.

Last weekend, I was not able to write or post a blog until early Sunday evening because we were busy bringing my two youngest children to college. In the past, posting a blog at the last minute, would not have concerned me. Last Sunday, however, I was filled with anxiety until I wrote and posted the blog at about 8:00 in the evening. After posting my blog, I sat down to finally relax and watch the Video Music Awards. Then Miley Cyrus twerked and I realized that, perhaps, my conversion to “early doer” may not have been a great idea after all.

Happy Labor Day Gotham!

Good that you did not have the opportunity

Nah. Great you did what you did. Twerking was not worth the additional space or conversation it has already gotten.

You wrote your blog when it was just right. Did not need to hear about Ms. Cyrus on Monday. I did not even know about it until Nancy's blog and that was good enough timing for me.

When I wrote my "The Public Ought to Know" column ('03-05), I often had one "in the can" and also maintained a list of topics in tentative order and publication date. When things occurred that caused me to put pen to paper (sometimes literally in those days -- like the time my son called complaining about noisy leaf blowers while we vacationed in New Hope PA - also to see Poco, I wrote a column in a little pocket notebook on the need to move legislation to ban those noisy things.), i did and I inserted a column ahead of some others. Other times something topical occurred -- on example, the shooting of City Councilman James Davis inside City Hall; it motivated a column on gun control. My recommendation, write what moves and interests you and if something requires an earlier commentary, follow your muse.
