You mean SUN TZU ON THE ART OF WAR ?
Yes, several times--but not recently.
Something in there I should consider?

Up until almost 2 a.m., but working on urgent deadlines. Everything else very good.

I feel bad....Im just now really reading this thread...trying to get on top of all the stuff here on this forum and posting more responses to people.
I would offer you advice, but going to bed late is an extremely bad problem for me. I think its because I dealt with insomnia in high school and early college (like lying in bed for 2-3 hours thinking about stuff before finally falling to sleep) that I got in the habit of just staying up until I was exhuasted enough to go to sleep, or stay up drinking enough to fall asleep, rather than finding a set schedule and sticking to it.
Maybe I should exhuast myself more during the day through exercise.....
Sorry to ramble on your thread....so while I cant offer advice, I can offer support.....

I am a procrastinator, and I really liked his take on work. Sit down and work, until you are no longer productive, but put in the time you can...etc
funny sidenote- never finished the book lol

I have two views on procrastination...
1. Procrastination is like masturbation.....sure it feels good, but in the end you are just fucking yourself.
2. If you wait until the last minute...then it only takes a minute
Im not really trying to make a point here....just saying....

Thanks guys.
Worked until 10:30 last night--it was about midnight by the time I got to bed. Everything else: mission accomplished.

The events over the last few days, including spending the weekend in bed sick and alone, urgent work deadlines, my son having a car accident, the break up of my relationship, and more, has made this challenge on the back burner.
That said, most nights I got to bed on time, and I didn't watch any porn.
I probably owe Bravo $30 or so.
