Day 12 This is the twelfth day.

Day 11 Booked an appointment with my school's career counsellor. Keeping things easy. Feeling good.

Day 10 Started looking for a job. Reading and squats.

Day 9 Lunch with my father. Reading and squats.

Day 8 Reading and squats. Keep the laptop shut.

Day 7 Yesterday didn't go as planned. Internet, two wanks, some more internet. Today I'm going to read outside with my gf.

The struggle to rest is a difficult one to focus on. Meditation I think is a great place to start. Good luck & keep yourself comfy

Day 6 Great weather. Chores and then some reading.

Are you a slight perfectionist? Quitting games is a task in itself. Improving productivity is another. I feel like you are attempting two at once. The high standards that a perfectionist requires for him/herself can cause them to need an escape from that reality. Does that ring a bell for you? My former psychiatrist told me this: "A perfectionist is like a plane with no landing wheels. He/she must keep flying forever, in order to avoid hurting themselves. Of course it is important that you can fly. But you will need wheels, to land and refill your fuel." Much love & respect to you. Take care

Day 4 Keep on reading. After today, I have a week off from class. Good opportunity to get some worries sorted.

This one I will come back to and re-read every once in a while. Thank you for your wise words. Stress relievers: Chinese tea, comfort cooking, talk with family. Guitar, singing, reading, walk in the park, squats. That kind of stuff I guess. What I find is that acting on my tasks is the most relaxing thing to do. All I need is the courage to start moving. Thanks for this thread of thought.

Day 3 The last few years of my life has been hearing the approaching footsteps of the greater tasks in life, and shutting myself away in a futile attempt to ignore them. My gaming addiction and other fruitless time consuming habits are all branching out of that single stem. So many people I have hurt / disappointed because of this.

Day 2 Feeling good. Let's keep reading.

Yes. I have to admit that those moments are scarce. Must create for myself the right environment for me to make progress. Exactly. Have a thought, move towards computer, click. A habit I would like to get rid of.

My situation really is quite simple, I dropped two years in university, and this is my last chance for graduation. Pretty much every class this semester is mandatory for me to start working on a thesis.

Day 1 Feeling good. Weather's beautiful in Tokyo. Reading my assigned text for Monday.

Just tried to open the MMO forum and got blocked by my add-on. Past me is a genius, thank you past me.

Has been a few days since I uninstalled my MMO. As always, I drifted straight into binge-watching panel shows on YouTube, and spent the last few days doing nothing but that. Now I've switched on my BlockSite addon so no more YouTube today. I tried a no gaming, no masturbation, no iphone thing in August, and it lasted 22 days until I caught a cold and couldn't give a shit anymore. A journal of that attempt was kept on the NoFAP forums, but I've noticed that gaming is the greater problem for me. GameQuitters seems a much more appropriate place to seek help. Not in the mood of writing paragraphs, so this is day 0 of my no gaming + no mindless internet streak. Wish me luck
