WhatAboutToday?

Day 2 Today was that kind of busy day that it seems that you haven't done anything relevant. Woke up like 6:40 AM, I went to sleep pretty late yesterday and was tired. My goal is to wake up like 5:30 so I can get some things done in the morning. Went through my morning routine pretty fast (physiotherapy kind of in a rush) and went to college. Had an exam till almost 1 pm and there goes my morning. Lunch till almost 2 pm and after that work, where I actually didn't stop to do my stuff, basically helped my boss in some things. After that had a meeting that was pretty good, some things about my final project are finally getting on track and I expect to finish it and present it in december already. It was raining a looot today, so it took me forever to get home... got home like 8:30 pm and didn't feel like doing something useful. Went through my evening routine and that's it. Current Streaks No games - 168 days No Porn/Masturbation - 7 days One amazing thing that happened/I did today Felt pretty good to help my boss today. He was really grateful, felt good about it. I gotta remember that it only happened because I had the initiative, most of the time I'm too passive. Gotta me more active. Exercise Didn't have the time. Tomorrow, no excuses! Social - Fuck it, just do it Gonna try a new thing: Many times during the day I don't things by hesitation/fear (I was a really shy person in the past, that is something I had some improvement). Whenever I have this moments of hesitation I'm gonna try to not stop, going to just do it. Not gonna be easy, but I will practice it daily, maybe with other stuff Morning Routine First 60 minutes with no Cellphone - Pending Physiotherapy - Done Skin care routine - Done Make my bed - Done Maybe I'm gonna integrate some meditation in the morning, but I don't wanna get overwhelmed with new habits in the beginning. Evening Routine Skin care routine - Done. Physiotherapy - Done. Daily Habits Tracker I'm going to start adding habits soon. Reading Not today. Getting to bed before 12pm Not today. Weekly Goal(s) Need some planning. Monthly Goal Need some planning. 3 Month Goal Need some planning. What went well today: Exam went well. Work went really well. Meeting too. What I could have done to make my day better: Using a little less my cellphone. Nervous before the exam I was using it a lot, not good. What I will do differently tomorrow: Wake up early. Exercise. Fuck it, just do it

Day 1 Today was a pretty busy day, I have an exam tomorrow so I had to study all day long, but I wanted to make a post today to start things off. It was an unusual day because I didn't even got the chance to be distracted. I'm aiming to do a real detox on dopamine in the next months: cut down a lot of Netflix, Youtube, browsing the web and other stuff. When I quit gaming some months ago the immediate feeling was boredom, day after day. After that I got used/replaced the bad habits with good + not so good habits and things got "balanced" again. I'm aiming to feel that boredom again by eliminating the bad habits, but when I get bored I'm gonna actively try to do the things I long wanted to do: learn the guitar, study programming, get back to reading... well, everything that is pendent in my life. Today the entry is a little messy, gonna get better with time when I get the hang of it. One amazing thing that happened/I did today One of the objectives I have right now is to avoid staying in my room for too long. That's a residual habit I have from gaming, and I unconsciously do that all the time. Things like eating in my desk while randomly browsing the internet make me lose too much time of the day. Today, even staying at home all day, I stayed out of my room for most of the time. It was pretty easy because I had to study, but I'm gonna try to keep it when I'm with free time too. Exercise Didn't manage to exercise today. Procrastinated a lot to study for this exam and today I couldn't leave home for that. Morning Routine First 60 minutes with no Cellphone - Pending Physiotherapy - Done Skin care routine - Done Make my bed - Done Maybe I'm gonna integrate some meditation in the morning, but I don't wanna get overwhelmed with new habits in the beginning. Evening Routine Skin care routine - Done. Daily Habits Tracker I'm going to start adding habits soon. Reading Not today. Getting to bed before 11pm Not today. Weekly Goal(s) Need some planning. Monthly Goal Need some planning. 3 Month Goal Need some planning. What went well today: The studying went well. Boring, but went well. What I could have done to make my day better: Eat a little better. In general I don't eat well when I'm focused in studying, gonna improve that. Keep my bedroom organized. What I will do differently tomorrow: Better organization/keep things organized. At work I'm gonna try to be more productive. Go to the gym. Look for the dance classes I wanna do there.

Hi guys! Making a quick introduction, my name is WhatAboutToday?, I'm a 26 years old male and I've been addicted to games for the most part of my life. It is pretty strange to write that I'm addicted... that is something that I've never said before (and never said it out loud, I just wrote it!) but it's time to really face the problem. Exactly 166 days ago (writing this in 4th of december of 2019), I decided to quit gaming and porn/masturbation for good. It's pretty curious remembering the exact day that it happened, mainly because I can't recall a "trigger" that made me take the decision at the time. But in the end, for me, it makes perfect sense, because my gaming habits were always something that made me feel ashamed. It has been a long time since the last time I felt like myself, and I don't feel like I'm living the life I wanted/was supposed to. So, at that day, a key switched in my brain, I took the decision, and I don't regret it at all. After that, for sure my life got better, but I'm aiming higher right now. The process of quitting wasn't really planned and I don't feel like I replaced the bad habits with only good ones. Starting the journal is a way to keep myself on track, receive suggestions and exchange experiences. Right now, I'm 166 days gaming free. After about 120 days, I relapsed on PMO in a stressful moment, but I'm back on track again. I'm gonna try to be journaling everyday, so feel free to join me on this journey to a better me. I gotta give some structure to this diary so that it becomes easier to make the daily posts, and I'm gonna begin in the first entry (today before I sleep, probably). In a better format it's gonna be better to describe the objectives that I have and the approach I'm gonna take to achieve them. I'm excited to start, the better me is around the corner, let's go!
