The cure is of course to have an actual buffer. I've had one before (I was actually a day ahead for all of last week) and I'll have one again on occasion, but for the most part, I often don't even sit down to do the strip- or often even start thinking about it- 'til midnightish the night before.
And I'm not entirely sure what to do. The strip is a drag on my shop time, and shop time is a drag on the strip. I don't want to stop doing either one, but I also can't really keep going as I have, because both are suffering for it.
