Well, for one the first thought is "forget it I'm quitting". That's never lasted more than a couple days for me. Every time I try to break it down logically I come back to the point that there is no reason I can't be a winning player.

I don't care for this plan. You're setting yourself up to fail. Either you'll fail to meet the guidelines, or you'll fail to actually quit. These might have seemed well defined, but they're not at all. I'm not sure a harder guideline is the right answer.

That being said, there is an outside chance I take an extended absence, because I'm basically in the same place you are. I can't kid myself and say I'm not coming back this fall though...
