- I will avoid all computer-based hobbies that I'd be able to also do at work if I were distracted,
  and instead focus on non-computer hobbies such as high-voltage and normal electrical engineering,
  reading books/magazines, bicycling, piano, car mods, etc etc etc.

- In particular, for the first three months (until April 1, 2008), I'll go cold-turkey on any
  rapidly-updating site that I have tended to (or will) obsess over, at work AND at home. (sites
  like Slashdot, Reddit, Digg, Wikipedia, and StumbleUpon) [see network_access.txt]

- I will find out if health insurance will begin paying for twice-weekly therapy sessions again
  starting Jan 1.  And if so, I'll attend therapy twice a week.

- I will do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to
    1) wake up on time (including weekends)
    2) go to bed on time
    3) treat all appointments as practice for getting work-related commitments done on time

- I will make sure NO GAMES whatsoever are installed on any work computers.
        (particularly not smaller offline games that I've started playing recently at PRP)

- Communications/availability:
    - cellphone will always be charged, and never left in the car or at home
    - email will be checked every two hours
    - I'll never refuse to answer a call from my boss (out of fear)
    - regardless of how late I arrive to work/meetings, I will never turn around and leave
