Thread Starter | I have to pull away, probably next 8 months
I spend about an hour a day total, maybe more, on several boards. But I need several more hours a day to be able to finish the second edition of my book. I think the smart thing to do is drop out of this forum. I hope I have the discipline to to do it, because it's fun to participate. So if you don't see me around for a while, then root for me. If you do see me here, then please tell me to go away, NOW, and get back to writing! Thanks muchly and hope to see you around for the fun, before September this year if I get the book done in its deadline. Best wishes and luv to you all. Wish me luck!

I've tried it many times Bob, it's impossible. GS is an addiction ![]() You can always have Jules block your IP for a while...that'll do it..haha.

No doubt, an addiction. Sometimes I can't tell whether I'm browsing forums between sessions or working between forum browsing.

LOL, now you nailed it again :-) Bob, we will miss you here a lot! But better having some priorities. It is allways difficult to NOT loose too much time because of forums and stuff. Maybe it could be a good compromise to make some kind of a shedule: Forum Time is every Friday 3pm to 6pm? Everyone needs some fun and relaxing when working hard. Good luck, brandy

Bob, > I need several more hours a day to be able to finish the second edition of my book. < Excellent! --Ethan PS: Try getting up at 4:00 am every day. It's amazing how much you can get done before 9:00 am.

Bob, you are a true pioneer, and this is just another example of your obvious dedication to your craft and your willingness to share the truth about mastering. If not for you a lot of us would still be in the dark. I have had great success with the purchases made based on your advice. The Lipinski's and Weiss are next on my list so we'll talk in September. I look forward to your new book and wish you and your family the best.

Personal reflection : Bummer, one of the biggest reasons I am hanging out here is for reading your post. Official : Best wishes writing your new book.

Hi Bob, I got your book for Christmas, and I just wanted to thank you for writing it and wish you good luck with the next. (It has been tremendously useful after one read - and I imagine it will get at least 5 more before the next one comes out All the best, Kirk |
