No - the marvels of MovableType: ability to schedule posts in advance. My Clock Quotes (4am), SCB-NC07 (8am) and re-posts from the Archives (11am) are usually all lined up to automatically appear at leaast a week in advance. Sometimes I do the same with cat pictures (1am). I do 'My picks from Science Daily" the night before, before I go to bed, and schedule them for 9am the next day. The rest I post as I go.
