I am such an undisciplined person, to the extent that sometimes I hate myself.

 

Sometimes I could argue that it was because of my passion. When I am interested in something, I often devote all of my energy to it, be it reading a book, or practicing my golf. So it's natural that I wouldn't be able to keep up some of the other good habits, or commitments.

 

But sometimes there is no execuse. For example, I've been struggling with the problem of wasting too much time browsing chinese news forum for a long time. Once a while, I tried to limit my time spent on those things, but it always came back.  For the last couple months, I think I've been wasting on average one hour every day reading non sense chinese news/rumors etc. It's indeed a shame that in my 2007 resolution there was one clause: " limit chinese news browsing time to 15 minutes every day ".

 

I've done reasonably well in my career so far. Given how undisciplined I was, I was probably quite lucky. I am quite sure if I don't become a more disciplined person, I won't be able to realize my fulll potential in my career and won't be able to get where I want to be 10 years from now.

 

So to start with, I am going to stop reading Chinese news in weekdays. I will keep track of this commitment and report it here on a monthly basis.
