How to stopped being tired and learned to love my sleep!

Boy this is an epic one.

Eugene arrived at the office after an almost full night of Torilmud. He has black drooping eye-shadows and vows, for the first time, not to play TorilMud tonight. 

Eugene stopped working at 8pm. His teammates decide to check out my progress so Eugene show them around the code for about 30 minutes. It took that long because they started talking about remote control helicopters, quadrocopters, ferraris and submarines. (I can't make this up, it's true!)

The discussion brought us out of work mode and they decided to finish off tomorrow. (So much for Agile Development!)

So, we head our separate ways. Eugene walks into a food court at a shopping mall and eat spicy Shanghai food for a half hour. He stumbles out when he realizes the shutters were banging down all around him. He sleepily makes a mental note to get more sleep tonight. And not play TorilMud!

On the bus, he splits the time between head-jerking mini-naps, checking communications, racing and trying to read Peopleware. Once, he feels his head bump into the seat in front. He swears for the 3rd time, to sleep early and not play Torilmud tonight.

Back home, he checks the clock. 

It is now 10:20pm. He decides he needs to walk and work out the indigestion and burning sensation in the guts. So he walks, burps and passes gases, for a half hour...

Then he showers and getting out, sees his laptop on. His mind decides to writes his night life story down, all the while his brain tries to shut itself down.

You know what I learnt?

It's that a single decision, when executed, is really many many small decisions. If you get hanged up on even one of the very many decisions, you are derailed have failed to execute.

That is why willpower is difficult, but ultimately the most essential, despite what most self-help/pop psychology books may have you believe.

That is all. Good Night!
