Hey everybody, thanks for reminding me of this.

I just started doing this again and realized why I eventually quit: boredom. It's almost the same kind of problem why Steve quit polyphasic sleep. You get so much time, you are going to have a really hard time finding things to do with it.

Also things like watching TV become so incredibly boring. Watching it will only take up something like 10% of your mental processing power and the other 90% really has trouble finding anything useful to do.

I do really regret giving this whole thing up a year ago! Looking back I think the boredom is a really great motivator for finding more important things to do with your life.
