I’ve been collecting information today. One thing I discovered today is that deleting dead people from your AIM buddy list feels creepy. Here is an interesting yet unrelated article, Self-control comes in limited quantities, must be replenished:
Self-control, whether used to pass up the office cookie plate or to struggle against temptations like alcohol and tobacco, operates like a renewable energy source rather than a learned skill or an analytical thought process, according to new research.
Individuals had less physical stamina and impulse control and increased difficulty with problem-solving activities after completing a variety of tasks that required some measure of self-control, according to Roy F. Baumeister, Ph.D., of Florida State University.
The finding may be helpful in treating a number of behavioral health problems, from gambling disorders to alcoholism.
“Learning more about how to maintain, increase and replenish this resource may hold one promising key to helping people avoid addiction,” says Baumeister.
The study appears in the February 2003 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
I hate to make a non-post-subject comment, but you used to have a post about Chapi Chapo on here, that I truly loved, and just found last week. Any chance of you putting it back up? It’s currently the only English page that shows up on Google that contains significant content about the show. Sorry to bother, but if it’s just a matter of putting it back up, I have to say, please please please. :)
It’s still here, you just have to search the site using the search form. :-)
