Day 18 I wasn't productive at all today. I've been following the coverage of hurricane Ida in USA pretty much all day. I hope you're all ok out there. Stay hard.

@Zubb Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm trying to create a schedule to bring some structure to my life. I know I'm more productive and relaxed when I have a whole day planned out, but I couldn't maintain a schedule when I was gaming. That's why I'm currently reading practical books on self-discipline and time management and I'm trying to incorporate small changes here and there. I recommend Atomic Habits as a practical one and Can't Hurt Me as an inspiration (but it also has many practical tips). Hopefully, these improvements will accumulate overtime. When it comes to leisure activities, I play electric guitar and listen to a lot of music, but I really try to listen to it by playing a whole album from start to finish and paying attention to details - I recommend everyone to do that from time to time, because imo you'll appreciate the artist more. I spend more time with my family as well. Day 17 Done. Stay hard.

Hello everyone! My name is Kamil, I'm 23 years old and I live in Poland. I'd been gaming a lot since I was 4 and managed to stop when I went to university. Unfortunately, with time I started watching twitch streams and related youtube vidoes here and there, which turned into an addiction that's very hard to quit for me. There were times when I could watch that shit all day and obviously I would feel miserable at the end. The best I could do was a month of detox and then I would always relapse. I know it's not a gaming addiction per se, but it's related and I feel like it made more harm than gaming for me. I'm a math student and I want to get a job as a data scientist or a software engineer in the future. I'm starting my journal today.
