after the checkpoint of today the one point I still have a kind of unhealthy/bad habit are my sleeping routine (I am working on it but the heat and humity are making it difficult) and webnovels (even though I have reduced the time to a tenth of before the 90 days the habit is still here will be a really hard battle for somebody like me who loves reading especially when it works as a 1min/2min stress relief ? )

P.s.: and of course 90 days of writing a diary which in my opion became one of my main pillars of changing my life!!

maybe study an extra hour and do some tai-chi sadly was relaxing the last 2 hours after basketball something to change for the future

What I will do differently tomorrow/What I have planned for tomorrow:

 

wake up around 8, go to university , play basketball again, study 6 hours for the next exam, meditate, do some spanish and Tai-chi

 

Weekly summary, thoughts and improvements for the future

the promised update ? : even this time it is really hard to study  with a high intensity again after the last exam but since I only have a week for the next one and I have to know till friday evening if I have enough time to pass it maybe the pressure helps me this time (on the other hand because I reduced the pile of rewards after the exam in comparison to the last time and set myself some boudaries like no kindle unlimited anymore that is as harmful to me as my long lasting habit of reading webnovels which I have nowadays at least reduced drastically I hope I mangage to cope far better this time)

Weekly summary, thoughts and improvements for the future

I realized that a week without working and with a hard studying shedule does wonders to judging how I want to spend my time and what habits and time consuming activities I do not need anymore so I wrote down most of my main goals for this summer (starting today and a detailed plan is in the making):

• another weight loss to 78kg (I still dream of the 76kg) and get my pull-ups counter to ten
• no down time during summer for studying (if last week let me realize something it is that I should never really stop learning/studying for some time I gets REALLY revert back to the productive self)
• quiting webnovels and similar internet activities for good (because I did half-assed or even as a reward till now I was not able to let go so I blocked all possibilities to access them ever again)
• reading more books but this time mainly the non-fictional and professional sort ( I plan for at least 3 but we will see how it goes and how much time I have)
• cut down or avoid all entertainment that drown my selfreflective ablities (I let go of a lot of my favorite podcasts today becasue the were helping my old and destructive habits)
• and finally get my good, productive sleeping habits back (but I hope I will  accomplish this in the next weeks!)
