I've cut back considerably, though I'm sure The Cop would argue I've not cut back quite enough. Love the idea of poets as the original systems thinkers! And yes, new habits are much easier first thing in the morning. Once the mind hooks into all the distractions available to it, it's pretty much off to the races. Endlessly entertaining, but hard to be contemplative in the midst of it all. I have the same form of acquisitiveness.

It's interesting how much my personal rhythms depend on the 24 hour cycle. I've sometimes tried to conceptualize the beginning of the day as being noon, or six pm, but it doesn't really work. Somehow each day accumulates its own karma, its own samskaras. Good think with your friends. If it becomes mental or spiritual, then it does. The more delightfully if they're not looking for or expecting it. Good luck abstracting today. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/21/business/21libraries.html?em&ex=1185163200&en=a2705daffa9a1d95&ei=5087%0A" rel="nofollow"> Here's </a> a link I didn't include earlier but thought you'd like.
