Default Re: Just quit my job. Advice needed.

Hi Marlow,

This may be a problem that deals with discipline in your life, with which you need to control. Although I am responding during work hours also, I make it a point to do so only in between projects/tasks that I need to complete first. My job is my bread and butter, while poker, however much of a nice side income as it may be, is a just a hobby. I'm sure your new job is terrific, hopefully providing a nice income and benefits, as well as a challenge for your mind. Make sure it's a priority. Taking an analogy from poker, you only get to play this hand well once. Do it right. There's always another poker hand being dealt, but a good job/career doesn't come around that often.

Perhaps you can use this forum as a reward? Read it only at certain times of the day as an unofficial "break" or after a certain task is finished. And only read/post for a short period of time, perhaps just one forum out of the many?

Good luck to you and your new job.
