Pre-empting burnout

A stupid thing I tend to do with projects such as this is I overestmate the amount of energy I'm capable of putting into them before feeling like garbage, and I've gone and done it again!!!

I missed my entry yesterday on account of being utterly wiped out and sleeping through the day, and when I realised this morning I began to feel like an idiot which is the last thing I need right now. I'm pretty confident that forcing myself to make an entry every day is going to turn this into an obligation that I dread rather than a useful means of processing what's going on in my life and keeping track of my mental state over time, so I've decided that I'm going to TRY to make an entry every day, but I'm not going to hold myself to it.

If nothing particularly interesting happens or I don't really have anything to say or if I'm busy then I'm not going to put pressure on myself to write anything, that'll just make me feel like crap and I'll end up writing something that feels forced.
