Dates?

[ctbcat]

Ironically, it's that time of the year again. I think I'm in enough agony to start up the attempt cycle again. But the thing is... One thing that's stopping me is that any success on not being caught beforehand would highly rely on timeframe. And I just can't figure out a date or even a month. It's too late or too early or doesn't mean enough, and I'm so sentimental and pretentious that it needs to mean something, even if only in metaphysicality.

I'll try to refrain from complaining & bitching about all the constrictions I have. It doesn't matter - if there's a will, I suppose there has to be a way.

I guess I want to know, if you are one who relies on planned dates or planned timeframes, how did you decide?
