  1. Day 14 Time I woke up: 8:00am Time I went to sleep yesterday: 11pm Physical task: Went to get groceries and clean up my house Getting more money task: Finish recording videos for me CV, added that video to my CV, ready to send CVs tomorrow ⛴️ Finding a new house task: Finished "dossier" and ready to send house requests tomorrow French task: None Music task: None Miscellaneous accomplishments: ~ Cooked one very good meal Summary of Day #: Getting back on track, went to sleep early yesterday, trying to keep my 8 hours. This alone is very powerful. Also I got a recomendation from a friend: Trying cold showers in the morning. It feels like shit and its very unconfortable. But it trains your brain to recognize and deal with resistance. I'll have one for the next 30 days What I am grateful for today: ~ Getting back on track after relapse
  2. hehe mon gars, je ne savais pas que tu etudiais le francais aussi πŸ™‚ Je ne aime pas beaocup Dualingo, Il ne marche pas pour moi, mais, J'ai trouvΓ© un method pour amerioler rapidement: Step #1 = Tell a story for 5 minutes Step #2 = Write down new words & sentences Step #3 = Repeat Step 1 & 2 Step #4 = Repeat exercise with a new story Step #5 = Study the words you've learned. --- Great to read you are doing good without video games, inspiration for me to keep forward!

  4. Day 14-15-16-17-18-19-20 Time I woke up: 10am Time I went to sleep yesterday: 4am Summary of Days: Almost a week without writting, Got worse (briefly played a new game that I really like that came out but then I stoped after like 2h), then better (stoped all screens at 11pm, and doing @D_Cozy routine to go to sleep) I realised that the most important element to keep my shit together is to sleep 8h following circanian cycles (sleep with night, work at day). So that is my main priority. I have not been much productive TBH but we still here.

Learning a lot of things in the mean time (Next.js,) ~ Got 4 songs ok and ready to be presented with the group Summary of Day #: I've been coding for 2 days almost non stop. I created my product that generates CV based on job descriptions with the idea of increasing my response rates from recruiters (usually pretty low), so lets see how it goes. (try it if you want, is free on this URL cv-improve.vercel.app ) What I am grateful for today: ~ Launching my company ~ Fixing my sleep seems to be fixing my mod problems. I feel less anxious and just more productive. Awesome!
  7. Thanks for your visit! Agree! Slowly I am adding some activities to my daily arsenal. Cooking healthy stuff, journaling, and friends time are the first contenders. But I appreciate the new ideas, will try slowly and keep you posted!

Day 7: Time I woke up: 10:30am Time I went to sleep yesterday: 11pm Physical task: None Getting more money task: Started sending CVs to get a better job French task: Started passΓ©e compose and imparfait, I need to cover one more topic for my target of this wek Music task: None Miscellaneous accomplishments: ~ Started the creation of a new product that will help people getting more job offers, more details to come ~ Stopped the streaming sites so my sleep time is better (midnight vs 3am) Summary of Day #: I decided to change my target in the templates because they better match my objectives for the detox. I decided to send CVS today while doing so I realized that my CV is not the best and I also don't send cover letters. So I decided to create a tool that helps created tailored CVs for job descriptions and cover letters. It should be ready tomorrow, I'll share the link. What I am grateful for today: ~ CursorAI. This tool allowed me to code a full app in a few hours. Is just amazing. ~ Improving at marketing. While developing my new product. I started thinking ahead about how to market it.

  9. Day 6: Time I woke up: 10:30am Time I went to sleep yesterday: 3am Physical task: None Mental task: None Projects: Took singing and music classes Miscellaneous accomplishments: ~ Finished all pending work I had for my day job ~ Started my singing classes Summary of Day #: Today, I mainly focused on finishing pending tasks from work. I've been procrastinating 5 days and finally I was able to do it. Also, I realised that a big part of my mod swings come from my lack of sleep. And my lack of sleep comes from sleeping super late watching TV. So I am stoping today. No more Netflix, Youtube and videogames. Worth mentioning that this is super hard to do for me. 80% of my free time is spent on the activities I just described. So now I am looking for alternatives to spend this free time. I am trying to read scyfi before sleep. Hope it helps. What I am grateful for today: ~ My music classes and how much I've been able to progress in this days. ~ Having a stable job that pays for all my classes.

After really pushing my self, I coded for around 4 hours to launch this directory I showed before. I plan to learn marketing, SEO, backlinks and how to automate all this process using UI (for my next venture). I really miss playing video games, but it's also giving more free time to do other stuff. My GF suggested we can play videogames as long as she take the consoles with her (lol), but I declined. I want to do 90 days without videogames first What I am grateful for today: ~ For my friends a family that are on my side giving support when I need the most ~ For the money and possibility to live in a very nice city (Paris)
  11. Day 2: Time I woke up: 9:30am Time I went to sleep yesterday: 3am (I might need to stop watching Netflix in the night to change this) Physical task: Just leaved the house to do like 5 pending things to do Mental task: none Projects: Started my french learning course, starting my first internet business Miscellaneous accomplishments: ~ Dedicated 1 hour to learning french ~ Cooked 1 full meal (trying new recipes tomorrow) ~ Almost finished my first MVP for a directory (I will post the link tomorrow) Summary of Day #: It was hard to get started in the morning.

  13. Hello! After relapsing several times on my dopamine and videogames detox, I've decided to start again in public with the idea to not relapse again. I've managed to do a 2 weeks dopamine detox before (no phone and video games for 2 weeks) and a 60-day video game detox. But I always relapse... Why? Because I play with people. Either my girlfriend or one of my friends who wants to chill and play for a day. We do. And then I am hooked and the addiction comes back. Last Saturday, my GF suggested we play for a few hours, and we did. She left, and I've been playing every day until today alone (Wednesday) I'll do the longest video game detox I've ever made (90 days minimum). I'm not sure if I can ever play games without being hooked, but I'll learn this in public with you. My objectives for the next 90 days (instead of gaming) Pass the B1 French accreditation exam. (exam on 7 Nov) Ship and market 2 online start-ups Do an in-depth LLM RAG course for a possible idea I have (talk GPT with your therapy audio transcripts) Pass all my exams in music school and be ready for the Christmas concert (piano and voice training) So there you go, All of these goals made me very excited. Lets fucking go
  14. Really great insight! A few weeks ago, I had the same insight as you did. Now, the challenging part. What do you think you are good at? AKA: Your passion.
  15. Hey! Just came to say hello. Congrats on having the courage to start the journal. If I may, a piece of advice. Creating a new habit is hard. So you wrote 4 options: Why don't you start just with one and keep it constant for 10 days. Then add another one. Cheers!
