[...] Scene: My apartment, at a quarter past eight, booking it for the bus to work. Because I’ve been waking up early to clean my apartment, I’d spent the past hour or so attacking all the nebulous to-recycle junkmail and magazines [...]

I felt so identified, I wish I could fly all the way over there and hug you/bask in your presence.

“I am: lazy by nature. Oh god am I lazy. My only complaint about escalators is that you can’t sit down on them.”

Maybe I should include that in my resume?

Where can I find the the post that you mention the grammatical term that describes Sarah Palin’s style of speech?

Yes you are now the equivalent of Wikepedia!

I just gave you a standing ovation in my heart.

I lack discipline so hardcore, it’s terrible. I’ve been wanting to put myself on a real schedule for awhile. Perhaps your fortitude can inspire me. Because although sleeping till after 9 on weekdays was my dream as a college kid, as a mom with an Olympic sleeper for a kid, I’m wasting valuable hours.

dam, that’s impressive. i haven’t been able to stick to a chronologically-based regimen like that during the hell that this bar-exam summer has been. i’ve gotten my hours in, but in a really fluid way. never the same pattern twice. that is one hell of a testament to your will. rock on.

Who would have thought that the army and a monastery could so readily be a part of the same archetypal fantasy? Funny. Although now that I think of it, monastery and army are both stereotypically masculine things. Hmm, where are women supposed to go to find discipline?

Also, in re: army, it worked out well for Marty Crane, who’s my absolute hero. Just make sure you do your furniture shopping before the war changes your aesthetic tastes for the worse.

Congrats on having worked up to 3 minutes in c25k!

I know I always feel great about myself when I’m busy and productive all day long. If only that memory of how good it feels were enough motivation to actually be productive. I’m glad I’m not the only one wishing I could have discipline enforced on me. I’ve often thought it would be great to join the army. You know, except for the war and shooting and stuff…

Dude, I think whatever feels right to you is a pretty solid attitude to work with. Besides, some days, nothing feels better than, like, a marathon soak and a My So-Called Life marathon. (Or whatever your particular guilty pleasures are.)

I dunno about this one. I think I’m happy being a lazy person, at least most days. Or not lazy, but kind of flying by the seat of my pants. It may not get much done, and I may never really get anywhere in life- but I enjoy myself..

This probably isn’t the right attitude at all.. but I dunno, I think I’m ok with that for now.

Discipline bites the big one, and it often doesn’t reward you with a shower of fireworks, but I know for myself–when I follow a similar schedule to yours–I feel a quiet sense of accomplishment unlike anything else. It’s a feeling of knowing that I literally did my best, so whatever else life throws at me, at least I have THAT.

But of course, I prefer a shower of fireworks. Hence, my love for beer and slacking off.
