Hello Rick,
I like your friendfeed quote...
Scott does have a grand grasp of those things important / critical to succeeding. His post teaches much about the pragmatism of time maintenance.
I agree with your assessment, once a path that produces excellent / good results has been identified; consistent focus and diligent work will achieve satisfying results.
From me at least, you have a hearty a-men about virtue; certainly it is one of the missing character traits in most of our society; seemingly because many people do not like responsibility and accountability, preferring to consider themselves victims. It is like any other addiction; difficult to shed.
Wishing you well in your quest and the 30 dc.
