On Lent, In Retrospect

So this article, on the decline of self discipline in other areas when one exerts it in one particular area, is amazingly poorly written and one of those in which scientific research backs up something absolutely intuitive (there can't be much value in this, can there?), but it does reinforce my knowledge that during lent I am absolutely ineffective at my work. You know, penancing yourself on the one hand does not work well with accomplishing things in life, on the other.
