You can work the whole day for now then, take a rest tomorrow or the next day. Also, I like the idea of making drafts everytime you have something in your mind. Actually, I'm doing the same thing.

I find it much easier than keeping a list or dozens of sticky notes. It comes in especially handy when I pick up my laptop or am mobile on my netbook, as I can just log in and pick up any of the topics... and blog. Congrats on your publishing schedule - that takes a lot of discipline, and it's something I am still trying to master! I actually do that a lot myself. ;)

This is great for weekend writing when you want a fresh post to go out every morning, or when you want your posts to appear at a specific time.

This actually reminded me of my floating blog somewhere, which I already forgotten the password because it has been unattended since then. I think I wasn’t able to overcome procrastination issue until now. At least I know I’m not alone.=p I was a beginner back then so I think aside from procrastination, I was hesitant too. There were lots of things in my mind— about my audience, what would they say, I might sound dumb and etc. But after having my first post, I realize it wasn’t that bad at all. Cheers, Alex Lynn,
