Four million years from now we're FUCKED!

You understand that the signal is not a high-powered laser though, right? The little bit of radio fuzz making it to Alpha Centauri ftom our broadcast towers isn't going to be a usable, intelligible signal.

As an ADD... er, sufferer(?) myself I can only advise this: life isn't about making good choices, it's about making good habits. Associate a strong reward with a behavior you want to habituate. Want to jog a couple mornings a week? Stop eating chocolate, and save it for that jog. Now you only get chocolate when you jog. You'll either hate chocolate or love jogging.

It's not easy. If there's somebody in your life to push you along and keep you answerable for these things it helps so much.

My only other advice is to wear a watch and check it constantly, but not arbitrarily. Set short-term schedules. Make a picture of the watch in your mind--don't think "when it's five-forty-five I'll do x", think "when the watch looks like this, I'll do x". I can't speak for you, but for me having a visual key instead of trying to keep track of time helps me a lot.

It's my understanding that they broke the suits a lot.

This exchange has gone on for years between my close friends and myself. Unchecked since the early 90s. This made me smile.
