Can we talk about that time I missed a filing deadline by 2 hours?
Last Tuesday I had a client agreement due to the state by 5pm and I thought I had it handled. Got distracted helping a contractor with a scope change and didn't hit submit until 7:12pm. Ended up paying a $250 late fee plus had to file an extension request. Has anyone else had a deadline slip through the cracks because of a simple calendar mistake?

Got distracted helping a contractor with a scope change" - I bet you think that was such a good excuse. But here's the thing. You set a hard deadline for 5pm and you chose to prioritize a scope change over it. That's not a "simple calendar mistake." That's you making a bad call and then blaming the tools. If you'd set a couple of phone alarms for 3pm and 4pm, you wouldn't have been in that spot. The late fee and extension request are just the cost of learning to own your schedule instead of your distractions.
