Day 3, streak since 7/15/2022 10:30Pm Took me three days, but I just noticed the days won counter, between my member ID and joined date. What is this tinny thing

Day 2, streak since 7/15/2022, 10:30Pm Didn't feel the need to play video game or watch videos on youtube Nice and nice. Bored as hell though

Day 1 Things were fine today Don't have much to say though

Nah, but I consider that youtube count as social media

Day 0, at 10h30pm ish I surprised myself yesterday, I was working on some homework, and without even thinking I sorta just figured, huh, some music would be nice, and went on youtube. Then, after like 20 minutes I remembered that I was doing this challenge. I am starting to notice how much of a reflex all of this is (that whole social media = DOPAMINE thing). Found it interesting in a way, and something to keep in mind from now on. Not giving up on this Bye bye now

Day 01 Everything ok so far! But even then I still feel like I need to push myself to do anything. So. I Joined a studying forum today, started a journal there too, but it's about studying a set amount of time everyday for 90 days. So basically, it's the same thing then here, just different. I wonder how this is going to go. Should be fine ish.

Day 0, 8:30 AM Hello! New troll here (warcraft reference). I feel like my use of video game and social media is detrimental, and therefore, I aim to stop using all of this for at least 90 days. I intend to update this journal daily, and "reset" it to day 0 each time I relapse. Should be interesting TTFN, so you next time on day 01 Update 9/11/2022 Adding a new objective : I am not allowed to spend time on the internet (not youtube and social media, that's still off limit) reading the news and going on wikipedia when I should be working (aka, before I accomplish at least 6hours of work). I am starting to realize that this whole thing is less about it being an addiction and more about me trying to avoid work, so I'll try to put a stop to this, it's getting really annoying Update 9/24/2022 The update at 9/11/2022 didn't work, had several relapse... lets just say it's bothering me a lot. I think I'll just stop using the internet unless it's for school related uses, so I am doping this whole 6 hours of work thing, it gradually lead me to "Well if I can use social media, why not go on youtube?". Yeah... this didn't end well. So this is a full restart now! Update 10/03/2022 I am making two new rule Objective 02, as of today I'll - Wake up at 6h15 - Make and drink a coffee coffee - Brush my teeth and get dressed for god's sake (added that one) - Do 15 minutes of work And most importantly, Rule No 01 I engage myself to give 50$ in donation to this website each time that I break the rules that I've established here, and that, for a period of 90 days ___________________________________________________________________________________ Update 11/06/2022 Objective 02 is now - Wake up at 6h00 am - Make and drink coffee _______________________________________________________________________________________ Update 12/10/2022 I am adding a third objective, from now on - I must start working at 8:30 am - I must accomplish 7h00 of work per day The definition of work include anything from school studying/practicing activities and job related work _______________________________________________________________________________________ Update 12/13/2022 I am changing the rules for objective 03, it is now - Accomplish 7h00 of work total *** (see the note bellow) - Start working at 8h30 am and work for 3h30 - Continue at 1h30 pm, work for 3h30 - If I still haven't done 7h00 of work by then due to interruptions, continue at 6h30 work until I've done my 7h00 *** NOTE Working is important for me, but I still want to remain flexible. I don't feel like cutting myself off from the people I know and tell them that I can't see em because I have to work and study. During those day where I'll be visiting someone (father, brother, whatever) for a big chunk of the day, the objective changes from 7h00 of work to 3h30 of work.
