Can anyone recommend me something that can help with motivation and time management and how not to be a lazy waste of space and all that sort of stuff. I am honestly the laziest person I know, and I don't know what to do about it. I even started slacking off in school to the point where I had to drop Calculus and Algebra because I was going to fail both... I'm an honours math student

Happy Birthday, Rod! <memories>I remember when I first came here, your 10NL and 25NL videos were some of the first that I ever watched.</memories>

I am like....drunk happy right now, but 100% sober. Rare form!

motivation is get ur money back, and yet it feels like a reward at the same time. very helpful imo

Another good thing is if you set short-term and intermediate goals in addition to long-term goals which are "delayed goals" by nature.

Poker-wise the iron man program helps me. Although I hate to have to earn x points over y days to make an ironman level, it proved helpful for me to put in the neccesary number of hands.

Happy b-day, rod!

wish someone told me to do this like a month ago. I do it now tho.

I finally found my future career guys -- being a beer pong hustler.

The trick is showin up to the party late, so you're like 8x more sober than they are. Like candy from a baby at that point.

Oh and happy birthday Rod!!

*****MSN Messenger Help*****

Don't feel like starting a thread anywhere so I'll shoot out my question here.

I reformatted my computer and someone accidentally saved the wrong email & pw in the MSN. I since added the correct one. However she isn't very technically competent so now everytime she comes to sign in, it goes to the wrong one by default. How can I remove the wrong one from the list?
