Who's the boss?

When you become your own boss, you tend to let yourself get away with actions that your old bosses would not allow. You regress into the habits that you developed when you first tasted the freedom of the college life. The result is the same -- backlog -- except there is no finish line, no final exam, and no graduation to usher you onto the next stage. For those of you who edit at home, the temptation is to wake up, roll out of bed, grab a piece of fruit, and start responding to emails. Once you get yourself properly groomed, then the temptation becomes to adopt a relaxed posture at the editing station while cutting your feature.
