Focus! Focus!

One reason I'm trying to cut back on potential distractions is to focus better on the things I really want to do. What I really want to do is code. Between web development and some gaming projects, I want to spend more time making stuff, and less time just amusing myself.

My greatest hurdle is eliminating distractions. And I can't blame the distractions, because I seek them out. It's just too easy to launch a game, chat away online with friends, or surf around. I enjoy all these things, and they take so little effort.

But the things I really value do take effort, and I need to get off my ass.

Not that I need to give any of those things up, but I need to budget my time more deliberately. Unforunately, I have a poor track record with budgets of any kind, so this is going to be an uphill climb. I think I just need more time, so maybe I can get my hands on a prescription of Provigil.
