Psycho-physiological hygiene. Keeping the energies from swelling beyond critical thresholds, by way of constantly siphoning those energies into orthogonal and abstract expression. In my case, primarily intellectual. Seeking intellectual greatness, as a sort of libidinally conducive fantasy, a...
I've been trying to redefine how it registers to me, and self-care isn't far from the target, in terms of the optimal register. Its like a periodic purging of energies that would otherwise irrupt into one's mood and color one's reality accordingly, usually in terms of frustration, no? Its easy...
But I think banking on wanking, in terms of expressing/discharging pent up libidinal forces, is not only a waste of such energies - it can also make one feel bad.
Well wanking I think is an exception. I still wank, it just a routine purgative exercise that isn't dwelt on for too long. It marks the corporal libido, the incarnate libido. I'm still working to sublimate the desires beyond bodily expression, a process which may plateau at the manner in which...

It boils down to a kind of focusing, a kind of tightening of the psychic grip on the current activity. Same kind of focusing/tightening that enables people to reach great height in this or that activity. Sustain it long enough, and you get a flow state, some kind of self-perpetuating superfocus...
Part of it has to do with guilt, which could just be one particular facet of one particular strategy, rather than an essential component.
Its about forming habits, training your desire to whatever extent you are able to. That is, when I am drawn into some activity that doesn't register as...
About the actual fields, I couldn;t say.
About the semantics and etymology, -graphy implies a mapping, a spatial notation of some kind, whereas -logy implies a general study, any and all discourse and expression regarding the topic.
This jumps out at me. Makes me think about how certain activities are libidinally infused, if even in minor enthusiasms. And then there is the quality of certain activities that is productiveness. It seems like people who happen to be able to libidinally infuse productive activities are the ones...
