Just leave your girlfriend for a little while each Sunday morning (the horror!) For the blocking, consider a student workday : that is, building a schedule where you efficiently work from morning to dinner, so your evenings are usually free. Treat it like a job. See your girl after the job. Great motivation to stay focused.

I don't do any work on a Sunday except perhaps a bit of planning. For me, there is a good reason why sunday is called the Sabbath. My ritual is getting up late, reading the Sunday papers, rest, reconnecting with my family and friends..... and going to church on Sunday evening. I work hard enough from Monday to Saturday as it is....nope...this suggestion is a fail for me... Cal,
