How do I put in more hours/week. (Long/Introspective)

[Forbillz]

Interesting stuff here. I work probably 50 hr/wk and play poker about 20 hr/wk. I usually play 2/4 x4. The times when I find I'm getting a little drained, I usually either play live 10/20 at the local casino (yes my bankroll more than supports this...I'm just at 2/4 b/c I'm still working on improving my game) or I enter a few more tourneys than usual. Something to break up the monotony.

Also, FWIW, I'm also a TV on guy. Its 90% for noise though, and when I want to "really" focus, I'll just throw on one of the digital music channels. I too look at PT stats a lot, as well as whether I'm up or down at each table. However, I don't feel that I let it affect how I play hands (maybe I'm naive).
