Bad Habits

I have many bad habits.
Some of them are habits I ought to break.
Some are habits I really do try to break.
Some I am resigned to because, quite frankly, I like them.

So one bad habit that I have is, I over-edit photos. I am working on that bad habit. I am try to avoid using layers and fake sunflares, and actions, and saturation. I am trying to not say "I'll fix that in post."

Another bad habit is, after I take and then edit photos I save them in small files and save them mixed in among every horrible worthless picture on my camera. I am trying to save only good, post-edited (but not a lot-edited) pictures and only in large files, not blog-sized files.

The third bad habit (or fourth, depending on how you count) is that I tend to undertake giant irrelevant projects, like sorting through two years worth of pictures, and editing and refiling them during finals week. Finals week is a horrible time for taking on large projects, unless the project is studying and preparing for finals.

Arrg! I have four, count 'em FOUR class periods left.
And I cannot for the life of me fooocuuuss!
Focus, Becky! Focus!

I have a friend that spends 10 months a year writing and being creative and then 1 month twice a year on her ADD medication so she can get the necessary things in life done. Hmmmmm!

Let's be clear that his "friend" is not me. I am not on ADD medication. Hmmm...
