I suppose that's because its not a case of failing someone else, but myself. That reminds me never to set myself deadlines... oh yeah, that means I can be even less organised...

Organization is a learned response to give me the freedom that I want. I do like switching things up though. If I focus on one project too long then my eyes start crossing. I try to mix up blogs posts, content writing, creative writing, novels and emails so that something interesting is always going on. It's not unusual for one project to spark the idea for the next. :D My nature is not one of being organized, but I have found it a useful tool for being able to take off days (or hours) as I want and not having to stress over meeting a deadline.
