MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Revisiting this essay, I've tried this method. As several people in this thread indicated, humans are best at doing actions in 2-3 hour stretches of time, and it takes minutes to warm up to any activity. So, it's impossible to do a little of /everything/ every day.

after the election, Barack Obama said something which stuck with me. Somebody had asked him how he deals with all the information he has to process all the time.

He said that it's important to put some time aside EVERY DAY in which you're not doing anything but thinking.
He'd isolate himself, turn off his blackberry, and just focus on what to do next.
