Entry 11.6 Written on 12.6 Weeks until average life expectancy: 2722 (80th birthday) Day 507: No Useless Videos Day 1341: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1380: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 83: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small - Morning jog - Still managing to keep a 6 hr space in between meals, despite having gone to the store (reducing 0.5 avocado, 0.5 apple at breakfast besides the pre-planned lentils/nuts reduction) - 30+ minutes devoted to a nap 1 Thing I could do better - Look, (Talking to myself) There were quite a few interesting things that came out of the fact that I lsitened in to the conversation between my house owner and the "construction guy" the deal they were speaking ovver was worth more than roughly 100.000 Euro, and I found out where the smell was coming from at the floor (A closed toilet) All these things are great and important. But if I do not focus on my pre-planned tasks - mostly studies - none of this will matter, eventually. Therefore if there is really such an additional visit about to take place, I should limit myself to a top of half-hour. Come high hell or ground water, in which I devote my attention to the visit. Otherwise there is always something that might just generally be "possibly beneficial" but there's no end to those assumptions. I'd rather focus on my pre-determined literature in an intentional way, rather than hoping something will come out of a random long conversation. Because what would have happened if I would have been at work anyway? I wouldn't have known of this converstion even taking place...

Day 252/365 GameQuitters/StopGaming I will be adding a new Affirmations streak. This will be 5 mins per day (to start with), just to keep up affirmations for whatever I'm focusing on in life that I need some positive reinforcement for. 73/90 GymStreak (PB: 22 days) 53/90 DietStreak (PB: 17 days) 1/90 SleepStreak (PB: 49 days) 168/180 PornFree 59/365 NoAlcohol (PB: 123 days) 1/90 NoVidyaMedia 20/90 Reading 1/90 Affirmations

Food Plan 11.06 - 25.06 not including 25.06 Remains the same for this meal and I am to update afterwards Edit 11.06 18:33: Same goes for dinner Edit 12.06 8 00 Same goes for breakfast Edit 12.06 10 04 Alright so here's the update: Everything remains the same except for: 1. Apples once they run out are to be weighed, and I assume two thirds begin to be beaten again. 2. All the foods that were "to be recover" from anything earlier than Tuesday are no longer relevant and are not "to be recovered". The same is true for the chlorella, chia and flax seeds. I do not want to go over the pre-determined amount for those anyway... 3. I got cold-pressed Sun-flower oil and Rape-seed oil to replace some of the Coconut oil. If there are meals where they are very "unfluid" I may then add 10g sunflower oil instead of the coconut oil. 4. If I am to be next to the store that sells Tahini, I shall pick it up and replace 40g coconut oil with it daily (53g to maintain calorie ratio if it is indeed 600 cals per 100g) (I can then report after 4 non-fasting days and change something if something feels off) 5. Additional changes are allowed up to Sunday evening in case I forgot something The reasons for the changes: 1. My weight is down a little since the last measurement, bringing me further down in the underweight zone 2. I feel eye dryness after some meals (Less eczema now, because it is warmer than in the winter) which might result from the fact I eat a verybig amount of coconut oil or generally high food volumes) - so I mostly addressed the first part - reducing/changing the coconut oil as of now. I guess additional changes in regarding to volume should be considered in the next iteration. Also I did the changes just taking advice from gogle AI, so the changes need to also be run through Cronometer, to see the more detailed effects on the overall nutrition. After all AI must not be trusted blindly

Appreciate the check in @Yan I broke the streak. I got sick. Quickly became an excuse to play. Wasn't that bad to start, but then the next few were greatly consumed from gaming's pull. Time to get back in the swing of things. For now I'm going to keep it very simple and ONLY track my days without gaming, for 90. Day 0 of no gaming for 90 days. Notes: I want to sell my gaming PC soon. I have a MacBook Air and it does 90% of what I actually need. The only reason I would need the PC now is for some upcoming classes/exams that require working with Microsoft office. But today I sold the gaming monitor. I strongly dislike it when my friend talks obsessively about a video game he's into right now, so I want to both figure how to set boundaries around those topics. I can already feel the dopamine issues. I want to stay consistent avoiding all this virtual stimulation so that I can get back to making studying feel fun again. I'm serious; I actually found it a fun and satisfying activity just weeks ago, and I'm ready to enter this mode again.

Day 251/365 GameQuitters/StopGaming Yeah unfortunately not much to say but it does really help keep me accountable updating this every day! Sleep streak is typically in bed 15 mins earlier every day but I've been struggling with it ;( 72/90 GymStreak (PB: 22 days) 52/90 DietStreak (PB: 17 days) 1/90 SleepStreak (PB: 49 days) 167/180 PornFree 58/365 NoAlcohol (PB: 123 days) 1/90 NoVidyaMedia 19/90 Reading

If you share some open text it might help you reflect. Not mandatory though, of course. Keep it up :) What is sleep streak by the way? What are the requirements to pass on to day 2?

@GreysonDean Welcome. Consider joining us in the "Daily Journals" section. If you wish you can check out some of the entries of the other members to use for inspiration for starting your own. For example feel free to just start a day count there like 1 day no gaming, 2 days no gaming and write whatever else comes up to your mind on top of it daily. However don't force yourself to write long entries. In my experience it is key to have a simple Template that you go back to where you don't need to think about what you write, so that you can finish the entry in minimal time. It helps stay consistent and build the habit, which then helps keep you up on the no gaming path as a result :) What say you? See you there? Best wishes my Gamequitter comrade :)

Hey, didn't see you a few days, are you still there? :) Feel free to get back on top of the missed entries and write a line on each of the missed days. (I do that quite often) But the longer you go without recovering the missed days, the more blurred your memory gets and the harder it is to document. Which is also not the end of the world, you could then start from where you're at. Nonetheless I choose the way of keeping my diary streak, and therefore would recommend the same to you :)

Day 6 Fell asleep earlier than scheduled - 84 (21 30 until 23 29 allowed myself to fall asleep in bed before the planned time and woke up randomly at 23 29. probably has something to do with the eating binge) Going to sleep in 1 bulk without falling asleep premmaturely in an unplanned manner - 72 Gaming (Death, Slavery, Regret, Disease) - 5 Yan (Life, Individuality, Freedom, Purpose, Self-Fulfillment) - 514 Note: An occurance that happened last saturday, where after finishing dinner before 19 00 I allowed myself to go downstairs and binge on foods that were "allowed" to "recover". Which I didn't eat during the week. I even dug up back to more than a month back into the food entries notebook, to see where I had dates surplus which I didn't "recover" up until now, to have a justification to eat them. Although it should have already been irrelevant, I guess theres nothingin the foodplan telling me so in written form. So I used the "gap". Overall consumed 58g cashews, 56g almonds, 84g dates, 1 apple piece. The remark in "one thing better" section of this post were meant as an answer to this occurence. Although it is in general something I wouldn't want to repeat, it is especially crucial not to repeat it with dry dates which may cause holes in the teeth. Taking it into account that I have no dental insurance whatsoever at the moment. Moreover this hour I devoted to eating is an hour taken away from my self confidence. It is an hour I wrote myself to use in a different manner in the schedule, and therefore, an hour not aligned with my values. Yes. My weight measurements are underweight and apparently decreasing, although I don't know how much I should trust this fluctuating weightscale... But that is not an excuse to go about it with solutions drawn up on a whim. Rather deal with it in the food plan somehow in a more systematic manner. Moreover I could have of course spread the eating of the "foods to recover" onto other days, and not in a binge like that instead of the time of other planned activities.

Week 21 Developing Projects: I set clear ETAs now. I am going to launch on of the product on beggining of August Gym: Trying to get with good regularity again Summary of Week 21 Less thought about gaming but they are still there! All good now, I'm keeping myself out of stupid ideas like buying new more powerfull laptop that I need for project ( I don't) so it happens to be also architecturally well suited for gaming ;) Still not feeling ok. Gym helped today... I am slowly returning to my normal operation, like working on project( not crazy time consumed like now lol), but not skipping gym at all in my free days! Do some reading in the evenings as well as now I am just reading some bulshit on chat gpt.... Dumbscrolling free: 22 weeks

or maybe because many of them gave up. A mix of both I'd say. I also think that they didn't get lucky, because I do not consider achieving a purpose that doesn't depend on me as lucky. They were "lucky" the moment they gave everything they could every single day. And whether they made the bulb or got to mars or not wouldn't make them any more lucky or not lucky in my opinion. Will try to comment on the other parts of the post possibly in the following days. No promises though :)

I think I'd like to document these time "gaps" between my plan and reality, aswell as the timeframes I withstood in the next days. I think if I do this here in time quantities, marking the ones where I went 5 minutes above limits, it can be quite sobering
