So I'm taking my car in today for a little work then I'm going to start grinding later this afternoon. Last week I played roughly 32.5 hours. I am pretty pleased with this, and from now until next Monday I'm going to aim to get in at least 35. I'm going to set the goal of not drinking any alcohol at all during this week (saving it for weekend). I'm sure my bank account, health, and numerous other things will thank me.
Now that I'm heading back to being more productive, I seem feel more eager to go visit friends on the weekend instead of staying in half assing the grind because I'm not pleased with what I got done during the week. Therefore my plan is to really work on getting lots done before Friday so I can feel comfortable allowing myself a day or two of slack.
Poker can sometimes feel weird to being playing for a living because its so easy (for me at least) to get into a lazy vibe and then have trouble breaking out. We just sit, and click, and sit, and click more, have no boss to enforce rules or time spent playing/studying, and because of that it becomes a pretty huge personal responsibility. I am going to get to the gym at least 3x this week. I think this is probably one of the most important things to do in order to keep sane and not get too lazy. The fact that you have to get up, out of the house, commute to gym, change clothes, workout, shower, eat etc. keeps me feeling busy and gets me into a productive vibe. Gym may not be for everyone, but doing something active is for sure important. Even just going for a walk is for sure very +EV.
I'm interested in hearing what you guys do to stay active. Are you a gym rat? Do you hike? Ski? Play on a sports team? I encourage anyone reading to leave a reply.
