Besides being a longtime fan of John Wooden and his methods, I liked the Wm. James quote so much that I posted a slightly longer version of it on my own blog back in March: http://tewalkerjr.com/blog/?p=498 Reading your post makes me think of two other things: 1. Mark Hurst's new book Bit Literacy, which is intended to help information-saturated folks develop better habits for handling the bits in their lives so that they're freed up from having to worry about them. See his book site: http://www.bitliteracy.com/ 2. The great novelist Thomas Mann was famed for his unusually strict daily regimen: he wrote for four hours every morning, and was so intent on having a quiet environment for his work that he made his children wear crepe-soled shoes so that he wouldn't hear their footsteps through the walls of his house. Someone once wrote something about Mann have "boring days, but a fascinating life". In other words, he controlled his habits in the William James mold so that he was free to exercise immense creativity on the page, which the rest of get to enjoy when we read The Magic Mountain, Death in Venice, and so on. (Oh, and I can't resist offering one tiny correction: Adolph Rupp of the University of Kentucky won four NCAA basketball titles.) Dan — Good stuff here.
