| The Seinfeld calendar has been pivotal to me. Look it up. Basically you come up with a standard of behavior and check off every day if you act in accordance to that. Helped him discipline himself to create a comedy empire. My slant to it is that I 1) constantly email rule adjustments if I want to have new rules (say I'm not allowed to drink until a Wednesday demo). 2) have a sponsor, well my wife, who I run ambiguities by, in case I want to have an exception to a rule. Example, if I commit to cleaning every day and I get sick, that day is okay to mark off. But forcing me to verbalize my exceptions means I'll only use them as needed. 3) I treat this calendar as holy, simply so I take deviations seriously. Reason for this is that it is a bitch starting it again if I fall off. 4) I have prescheduled cheat days and stuff like that. In short, this system works great for me. I might be bad at explaining the complexities here, but feel free to contact me for more info. My best weapon. |
