Control Self

jakoblodwick:

My worst problems are caused by conflicts of schedule. There are too few hours each day to do everything I want to do.

My energy is finite. If I waste it on the things I want to do, I will be unable to channel it into the things I need to do. In my life, the realm of “want” is mostly one habit: browsing the web. The realm of “need” is inventing companies that change the world.

I cannot do what I need to if I do not control this habit.

…if ‘inventing companies that change the world’  means anything other than browsing the web (work, laundry, breakfast).
