I'm gradually learning to structure my life better. I've pared my life of most of the unimportant things, and now I'm trying to stop wasting time and money. My bankroll can't grow if I'm spending on unnecessary things, and I can't be as effective if I let unnecessary activities take up my time-- I can't play as often and I won't be as focused when I do play.

I feel like it helps my game, too. My mind isn't occupied wondering what else I could be done or what needs to get done, because now is poker time.

In that sense, I feel like I've made tremendous strides. I still have many leaks to fix, though; keeping my A-game at all times is probably the biggest one; developing the discipline to actually play a serious workload is another. I've made gradual progress in both of these areas, but I know I'm nowhere near fulfilling my potential.

I can elaborate on this if anyone would like. Perhaps I'll write up a general idea of my daily routine; I'm sure it's markedly different than most poker players'.
