That is the secret to success with these things. Break down the amount of time you need to succeed to the smallest increment your mind will handle, and then succeed, one time increment at a time. You only need to succeed one increment at a time, no more. Then you work on the next time increment. That's how drunks try to sty dry, how overweight women try to stop the obsessive eating, how gamblers stay away from the tables and bets. Sometimes, with G-d's help, they even succeed. 685567@blogcritics.org Sun, 6 Jan 2008 09:11:20 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/01/02/140911.php#comment-685532 Nice advice. But you don't understand my situation. Just kidding! I'm totally ready for a rockin' 2008. My number 1 goal is to not be boy obsessed. Boys ruin your mind, really. This year is all about my personal growth. I go back to school Monday with all the boys. Think that's gonna last long? Doubtful. 685532@blogcritics.org Sun, 6 Jan 2008 02:42:34 EST
