Back to work!

It is kinda double.
I didn't have to work the last 14 days, so I'm going back to work. But I'll also have to get back to work on the pokertable. I've been playing pretty much the whole 14 days, but it's more relaxed, no pressure. Now I've got to  work and schedule close to 3 hours of poker around that, without having to play too much in the evening (because I'm too tired, and can't keep my focus as good as I should).
It shows you have to have some routine to really get things done.
I hope I'll get the good motivation back to keep me from slacking. I might need to look up some video's to help me with that.
For the people who need some motivation, for poker or life, I'll give a couple of links that really helped me set my mind the right way. (most video's I discovered at TED.com)

Randy Pausch, one of the most famous speeches that goes around the internet I think.

Also Randy Pausch with a lecture about time-management.

Dan Gilbert talks about happiness.

Again Dan Gilbert with a bit of general poker theory applied to life. Although he doesn't present it as poker theory ofc :)

Not so inspiring, but it's interesting to watch :)

There are a lot more videos I've watched and find inspirational. But I can't remember them all at once or can't find them.
Notice there's little to non information about poker or setting goals. That's because I personally need a bigger picture. I need to know why the hell I want to be a pokerpro anyway.
For some people just saying to themselfs: "I want this" is enough. But I need some bigger picture about life. And you'll see a lot of these videos are about being happy. And that's what it's all about. You can do a lot of things, but you have to remember to be happy while doing it.
