It was carefully planned and I'd convinced myself I wanted to do it.<br /><br />The important thing now for me is to recognise the signs this is happening again. It still happens that I do something because I think I should, but I can usually back out before it gets out of control.

Sticking with a theme can often be it's own problem - there are a lot of distractions out there. KEV.KEV.

Some of these projects linger on for ever. I have a few such projects begun for the wrong reason.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-73206871275147865662016-03-21T21:52:30.071+00:002016-03-21T21:52:30.071+00:00This is a really good article.
