This is part two on how you can get your costume done on time for the con. Take a deep breath. This might hurt a little bit (but it\u2019s totally worth it).<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set an absolute deadline at least TWO WEEKS before the date you want to wear your costume. Don\u2019t break this. Ever.\n
      \n
    1. Drop everything you\u2019re doing right now and make a pact with yourself that the 2-week deadline is a sacred step in your cosplay construction that shall never be broken.<\/li>\n
    2. Promising yourself is easy, and we break stuff like this all the time. Make incentives for completing on time!\n
        \n
      1. On-time example: If I finish on time, I get to chow down on that ice cream I\u2019ve been eyeballing (#noregrets)<\/li>\n
      2. Early finish example: Wow! Finished 1 week early! I\u2019m going to go to that dance club I\u2019ve been interested in but too shy to go to, since I have so much time now. Or learn how to do the waltz so I can look legit in my princess dress (or whatever suits your fancy)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        • Late finish example: Well, it l ooks like I won\u2019t be spending the extra $$ to visit my favorite actor\/actress at the con. (Seriously, make this pact violation painful to break)\n
            \n
          1. Late finish discipline could also be doled out on a \u201cevery day I\u2019m late\u201d basis. I.E. \u201cEvery day I\u2019m late, that\u2019s one less con party I\u2019m going to attend\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
