I have a friend who is exactly like that. He used to think just like that about poker, but then he started and now he can't stop. He's read everything about poker and is a great player. I understand that thought process but it's a little limiting when it comes to enjoying life. Wouldn't it be better to learn how to control ourselves once we get involved?
Indeed. Self-awareness and acting accordingly are paramount. What ultimately shifted my friend's focus away from poker was the arrival of his daughter!
That's so profoundly sad.
It’s not that sad. I have enough things I’m addicted to enjoying already and I need to finish them before I addict myself to something else. I have poor compartmentalization.
BJJ was one of those things I found myself unable to stop thinking about. I was super distracted at work.
That the rationale makes so much sense only makes the statement more profoundly sad.
Wait, does this mean that you don't enjoy working on SN, or that you're addicted to it and will never stop?
Nope. I try to avoid things I'm at risk of enjoying because I can't stop once I start. :)
