Day Two of Week 2: Gevurah of Gevurah

9th Day of the Omer

Examine the discipline factor of discipline. Is my discipline disciplined or is it excessive. Do I have enough discipline in my life and in my interactions? Am I organized? Is my time used efficiently? Why do I have problems with discipline and what can I do to enhance it? Do I take time each day for personal accounting of my schedule and accomplishments? Does my discipline include the other six aspects (see here for more on these traits), without which discipline cannot be effective and healthy?

Exercise for the day: Make a detailed plan for spending your day and at the end of the day see if you've lived up to it.

9th day
I appreciate and learn from Rabi Jacobson's writing. And, tonight...given the suggestion to plan the day and then check later to see if it was done according to plan: depending upon the degree of detail of the planning, one could be sure of either behaving according to plan or not. Sufficient degree of detail, one will not follow plan; sufficient generalization of plan, one will follow it. So, what is to be learned?
