It is an old problem, it is hardest to be your own customer.
When it comes to your project, it is usually pushed back for the paying customers, corners might be cut to make it quicker, easier, cheaper. It makes sense: it is hard to justify the time, the expense, plus you are always doing it for other people, sometimes you just want a break.
But remember, if you can't do it for yourself, why would people want to hire you to do it? When I am working on a self-promotional printed piece I run into all these problems and sometimes it seems so much easier to give in, but I have to remember. I am sending these out to my customers, I want them to do projects just like these. Why would they, if what I send them isn't spectacular?
