Time Management for Con Chairs
Running a convention will eat your life. I don't know that anyone who's done it or even watched it up close would dispute that. And yes, I accepted that going in.
However. I have been catching myself lately, when I've finished the things I said I would do this session, looking around and thinking "What else can I do for the con?" Not, notably, "What were the rest-of-my-life things I said I'd do when I finished the immediate con stuff?" That shit's gotta stop. There's a tremendous amount to do for the con, sure, but if I go looking for ways for it to devour even more time than it already does, it will surely do so and the cats really will forget who I am.
