my discipline is sorely lacking

This coding horror (et al.) post on discipline strikes a particular nerve with me... if there's one thing that I decidedly lack, it's discipline. As an proud ADD veteran I enjoy breaking the mold and not following procedural rules, and usually get away with it ... but sometimes I just want to be just a bit more consistent.

My mom wanted me to join the military when I was younger and would post the classified ads of military academies on the fridge....more as a threat for not doing my homework, but maybe I could have used just a month or two of training to get me in line.

I was thinking the other day of how that's really what I would need ... but then given the current geo-political environment, the military is absolutely nothing I want to be a part of ... I wish there were some other in-between to help you out.

Now being a father I don't want to pass of my lack thereof on my kid(s) ... although I think his mother who's quite the opposite of me will be helping out on this one. At least there's hope.

I've tried writing at another site, but too many people were watching and it felt a bit uncomfortable. I'm not hiding my identity at all (it isn't very hard to figure out) but I'm not going to advertise this one since I really just want to get the hang of things for a while without feeling pressured.
