A week of deadlines.

This weekend is the Breathe Christian Writers Conference in Grand Rapids. I help out with this conference and it is a highlight of my career. Between now and when the conference begins on Friday, I have a list of things to accomplish. Posts to write, church responsibilities to attend to, a house to run. I have the honor of presenting a workshop and need to practice and put together a cool handout.

I was looking at my calendar and thought to myself, “If I only had more time”.

But then I remembered this quote from Duke Ellington (legendary jazz musician). “I don’t need time. What I need is a deadline.”

How true. How true. Do-boo-be-dooo.

So, in light of that, I’m going to aim for my deadlines (later today, tomorrow, the weekend).

The deadline calls. Its voice is good at giving a nudge to my creativity.

Here we go.

Have any deadlines you need to meet?

1. Susie, I’ve had the same thought, about the conference and needing more time! See you in a couple of days!
