I am not a disciplined person. I actually sat down to start this post 15 minutes ago and decided to check fantasy baseball first and then got caught up on the saber-metric component of xFIP (nerdy fantasy baseball stat) and wondering what my points-per-game differential over the sample sizes of the last 3, 6 and 9 weeks was. Which led me to check my Twitter feed to see if anyone was extrapolating something like that over roughly the same time frame. Which led me to seeing that Salt of the Earth (@salthpgh) which is a fantastic looking restaurant that uses a combination of foraged and sustainable goods with simplistic preparation to model a certain version of the same cuisine that @ReneRedzepiNoma (lauded by some as the best restaurant in the world….NOMA, that is), is having problems with the flow of their dining service on a Saturday night because they are booked with reservations from the same affluent, season-ticket-holding crowd that just so happens to flock to a baseball stadium in droves when Boston (Red Sox) is in town and since that game is running late, it is messing up their groove…..follow me? No? I’m shocked….
That’s my point.
As I thought about my undisciplined nature of conducting business and what I wanted to say about that, I realized that the dogs needed walked and that I had not cleaned up those awesome Hershey water bottles that are going to make awesome fuel storage holders for camp stoves (since I had to explain to Josh [@jgstech] why our downstairs bathroom looked like a deconstructed meth lab with all of the debris). Still following along?….
Do I consistently wake up at the same time? No.
Do I consistently put the toilet seat down? No.
Do I consistently do the same routine when I arrive at work? No.
Do I consistently visit certain areas at work that I should throughout the day? No.
Do I arrive home at the same time? No.
Do I commit to being fit? No.
Do I vocalize the need to do so? YES…but it doesn’t mean a d#@^! thing…..undisciplined.
Have to find a way. So much more is possible with even minimal amounts of self discipline. The new learning curve has been revealed.
…wait, what is that shiny thing over there?
and I am left wondering if I needed to use those brackets up there because they were inside parentheses. Also wondering why I: 1. don’t remember that and 2. want to know why it is scathing to me to not know if I am doing it right.
Hahaha. Great post. Your Internet browsing sessions sound just like mine. Different starting point and triggers, but just as divergent. And ultimately, just as undisciplined.
