That's about what I do too (just tomatoes) and I also grow quite a lot of other vegetables. But I have learned to resist starting my tomatoes too early. I'm in zone 7a and I plan to start peppers only this week-end and tomatoes next week-end. And if I delay all this another week, it won't hurt. My mistake (more than once) is being impatient and starting the solanaceous seeds too early!
In the meantime I have distracted myself by getting on with planting perennial flowering plants, brassicas, and cold-tolerant greens.
