That painful halfway point

With the approach of freelancedom and another reboot, I have today reached that oh so common half way point in projects. For me, this point is defined by a combination of nose to the grind stone and mild panic. Of course, I will be meeting deadlines, that is not the point. I guess, I am just the sort of person that has to feel that buzz of panic once in a while. I always get this a few weeks before the end of a batch of work. Usually, the surge of argh late late comes during a juggling attempt with a range of websites. In many respects it is this panic (usually for no reason) that pushes me on to meet the deadlines that are looming. I often wish I would not do this to myself.

Today has been one of those days with show and tells developing for a range of clients and mass website juggling. As usual, after this period I am finding I have done an insane amount of work in a short time period and really gained some ground on those projects. I really think as I get older, that I need to find a less blood pressure increasing method to spur me on. I am not an obviously panic ridden person and fail to show this with any other type of my life. It is only websites that I reserve a false sense of panic for, when really there is no cause for any concern. Possibly, the mass injection of caffiene that I intrevinious during these moments might have something to do with it….
