One amazing thing that happened/I did today 1)went on my first run the morning was quite cold but also energising. 2) went to a party with friends and drank only antialkoholic beer was a completly new experience.

It is weekend and I am late so I will sleep 30min longer tomorrow but work my ass of starting in the morning!

Day 4 28.03.19 Gratitude journal Today I am grateful of being alive and healthy. Also to have heard a lot of the game quitters podcast in the last days and found so many inspirations like the miracle morning and the power of habit. One amazing thing that happened/I did today 1)Got my mobile screen time under 2 hours!! planting trees left and right (if somebody also uses the app pm me or write down below I am sure we could push ourselves more) 2) helped the Red-Cross at an accident on the street today felt great I am thinking about joining as a volunteer when my time shedule is not so packed anymore in a few weeks and my miracle morning routine is more established. Workout/run around 5min Tai-Chi in the morning 125min workout in the gym more than 12500 steps Meditation again nearly 15min in the morning of complete silence gotten closer to the end today Visualisation "I am trying but it will need work" I stand corrected a lot of work.^^ Daily affirmation did not work so well today trying again tomorrow! Reading + taking notes studied between 3 and 4 hours and a lot articles about self-assesment and habit building Getting to bed before 9pm I decided to try this project when i am acclimated to the summer time in about a weeks time Weekly Goal(s) get the first week of miracle morning done and I am going to wake up earlier than 6am on the next monday, creating a plan for the immediate future (studying, work, social life, ...) Monthly Goal to study a lot for the exam next week and the following exam, train myself in the SAVERS and be more grateful for everything in life, find the joy of living in the moment reducing my mobile time under 1 hour for most of the days 3 Month Goal getting my degree or getting it nearly done so that at least at the end of July I have it in my hands, having a really productive life, living my life so that I am proud of it What went well today: did not sleep well and a lot this night but still decided to wake up before 6:30am and also was quite stressed in the afternoon but the workout afterwards was fantastic What I could have done to make my day better: studied more (it becomes a theme^^), stop the old habit of procastinating because sometime after starting it gets really easy and even if not I still have to do it on the next days and it is not going to be easier What I will do differently tomorrow: doing more than 6 hours study time (trying again^^) and finish all of the plans and documents I was too weak willed or lazy to do today (so far I fear procastination will follow me even after quitting all the easy dopamin "dealers" for a long time)

Day 3 27.03.19 Quick update in between got some mails today namely that my blizzard acc and my steam acc were completly deleted so now there is no turning back. Since my netflix acc has run out and I am still fighting to delete my webnovel account (you need an offical document for it and then have to wait till a moderator deltes the acc) I call it a good day so far. But still every once in a while I have to use an enormous amout of willpower to resist all those urges like watching a little bit on twitch ( especially when you had a fixed time every week) or to read "only" one chapter of a webnovel (it will not stay that way I know myself good enough) . So wish me some mental strengh to resist them as long as it takes to overcome them.

Hi, I am starting to write a little bit late because I already "survived" more than 60 days of life free of games. But till a two days ago I traded my game time with some good habits like exercise and a lot of bad ones like online novels, videos and other stuff for killing time. So to stop continuing with this destructive behavior I started doing my miracle morning (honestly today was my first day) and I will write starting today my daily progress here and expect/hope for imput to create a better version of myself and of course also critisism should I miss a day!

I am 28 from Austria and I was gaming for 15 years till now, sometimes more and sometimes less (in rare cases), but always wasting a lot of my time I could have used so much better. After trying to quit a few times already on my own (my record is two and a half months so far) and of corse failing with the addiction coming back stronger like two days ago I told myself that if not now then I probably never stop gaming and here I am this time with help hopefully. So nice to meet all of you and let us defeat this rocky path together!
