Human Factors
I rushed my preflight and missed the tail tiedown.  I dragged the tiedown weight about 50 feet before I realized it was still attached.There were several human factors which led to a hastily/poorly performed preflight.  Reflection upon my day leading up to the flight should have warranted extra patience; but a perceived time frame overshadowed better judgement. 'Got to get there' syndrome got me. and extreme caution and patience will be warranted in the future. I had also not dealt with tiedown ropes in over 15 years.My take away is to calm down and double check everything and not rush anything to do with aviation.
