It is a truism that if you want something done, give it to someone who is already busy. Just as a deadline tomorrow is easier to meet than a week next Friday, if you’ve already got a bunch of stuff to deal with, one more small enough thing hardly makes a difference. That’s how it has been with my self-inflicted lunacy. Since promising myself I’d do these damnable little things every day, I’ve also done a whole lot more besides. Deciding to have an image per post just makes it harder, and therefor weirdly easier.

I know exactly what you mean. Exactly. There’s a perverse pleasure in carrying that one more thing with you throughout the day. Even when you’re doing the most tedious thing, your minds casting for ideas.
The image part is fantastic, but just has to be such a hassle-multiplier. I applaud you for that.
I see it took you just seven posts to get to “damnable”.
I love that you’re adding the photos to your posts.
Yeah, but like OOC says, its partly in order to multiply the hassle. My hair shirt is scratchier than yours …
