I suppose doing something we say we are going to do is an important part of managing ourselves but it is also part of who we are and if we don't manage to do something on time it affects us emotionally - we are disappointed or angry with ourselves. The converse is also true if we manage to hit a target we set for ourselves we are more likely to be feel a sense of satisfaction. So for the moment I'm content to know that I did what I said I would do.
