Missing deadlines

What a horrible word- deadline.  It sounds so final!  But final never seems very final.  I have been working on a journal article for  . . . a long time.  I hate missing deadlines, but sometimes life happens.  Plan for success, but remember- sometimes, you can only do what you can do!  Do your best.  When you miss a deadline, get up the next day and - do your very best.  Be honest with yourself.  Feeling bad doesn't get the work done.  Only doing it gets it done.  

Now, I will do my best to take my own advise.  :)
