The Ever-Changing Battle

08/01/15

Writing about my new plan to think about how I can't afford it has made me think of the ever-changing landscape surrounding my battle against lazy and unhealthy me. I've come to realize that there's no winning strategy. This is a game that I've got to get better and better at, as lazy me finds new strategies to subvert my well-intentioned systems.

Life is a dynamic thing. I can't just memorize the right thing to do for the various states I encounter, I have to get a good grasp of the underlying mechanics and just get really good at the game.

And I realize that maybe I should formally do that. Actually write out what this game I'm playing is and document the ever-evolving meta-game. I realize that I don't even know where to start, which just further shows how valuable an exercise this idea would be.
