    The mind, yourself, that which seperates humans from animals. That what makes you the unique person you are.

    Haha. I know what you mean. Sometimes I read so much I almost become morbid in my attitude toward things.

    I like the idea, but when I tried it before, I tried to control everything and after a productive 1.5 days I had a headache and was back to wasting time.
    Willpower is exhaustible, so we have to be intelligent about it.
    Form habits to your advantage. Allow motivation and energy levels to determine the speed and efficiency of your task. That will leave more than enough willpower for where it is needed.
