If I did not push myself I would not get things done as it is all too easy to feel tired and lazy and avoid doing stuff...actually I think I don't do enough..I still have not got around to doing any gold panning or fixed that new little boat I picked up recently.
My attitude with astronomy is there are so few times you get what with the weather so if its clear I try to get out there until about 3 am which still gives me a good sleep if I lay in until 9 or 10.
And I enjoy it so much... even my poor results please me..I look at what I did right and ignore the bad points..one day it will come out perfect.

Exactly my attitude and my way in astronomy/astrophotography, and i am even worse, i don't go out in every clear night, it is not about how many i am out, but it is about how good i did of those times i am out, last year or before last year i was going out like every clear nights, i didn't improve or got better results, so it was like a big waste then, so what i did now is, i relax a lot even if it is clear nights out, i go out when i have very specific idea in my mind, i try to manage it as best as i can, then see how it goes, most likely they are not bad, so i relax after that and build upon those last images i did and i don't rush again once it is clear again outside, i know people keep going out every night and their results didn't tell much anyway.
Also, if i am not in mood or tired or headache, then astronomy is the LAST thing i will think about, i don't force myself to go out only to satisfy people ion the net telling them i am "OUT EVERY NIGHT", they don't care, as long i show them result nice one even if it was like 1 night per 6 months then that is all matter.
