Chunking It


Well, o.k., my commitment to shot commitment hasn’t worked out so well yet.

In the parking lot after another drubbing from George W., he said, not unkindly, “You overanalyze too much.”

At first I presumed the redundancy was unintentional (overanalyze, too much?), but on reflection…

Oh, hell.  The guy is right, but why does it matter?  Why can’t I brood about why I hit that last shot too short while I’m waiting for the next serve?  Or tell myself how badly I suck after missing that easy volley?

Here’s why: chunking.  Or, more to the point: unchunking.
