What I could do is wait again and plan for it Out of timframe: (General =/ ) As stated yesterday omitting this but I'll just write from my memory that I got about 30 min late from doctor appointment because of asking to elaborate blood tests and answering a potential job call. Also about 15 minutes after workout as usual 4 minutes after GQ and as mentioned above, the mother of all deviations in accepting the delivery, and counting finances.

(Which showed that there are like 80% reviews saying the website is a scam. 50 GBP saved.) -returning a set of masks to the shop and getting a refund for it (about 8 dollars) -Scheduling an appointment for suspension treatment which is gonna cost about 270$. I'm very scared but I believe it may send me a lot of trouble in the long haul of having to look for a new bike, because without suspension my knees, back and bladder will start suffering again, which is exactly the reason I bought this bike in the first place 1 Thing I could do better -I keep making the first task of the day longer than needed and it starts negative momentum. Make sure I return home a bit earlier to write GQ IN THE EVENING. And not start the day sliding out of the timeframe of planning the next day + (1. omit the out of timeframe part and commenting if not done 5 minutes before an the end of timeframe and 2. wake up more promptly. these 3 minutes may make a difference.

  13. Indeed, visitor's name is "visitor" for a reason, I guess he doesn't want to commit to the necessary things =/ or maybe he just wanted to read a bit of our journey and then start his own but then he got stuck.... (Just assuming here) How did you create silence in your life? What needs was the gaming answering for you? How did you get it replaced? (No need to elaborate if you don't feel lie it 🙂 You may also just send me to certain of your journal entries :)) Hey, I feel your comment has a lot of things I agree with. I hope @visitor really does consider some of the things you are saying. Like I wouldn't put him down, since he is having the same fight we all are, but I would indeed say that a journal could be beneficial, and committing to starting his own journey instead of talking himself out of it by putting others down. another quote about discipline "Discipline equals frreedom" - Jocko Willink On the other hand though, habits may be even mre powerful, note that too 😉 Thanks for taking your time to comment and in general following up on me much. Really appreciate that! P.S. A support system is something essential, and I certainly feel some support from you, so don't under-estimate your comments. 🙂

(Not yet ordering though) 1 Thing I could do better -last three pomodoros when eating I could have kept working on the current project while eating, since I wasn't doing something that required my mouth instead of working on the next, which I guess I just found simpler so it was some sort of an escape... Out of timframe: 6 min plan tomorrow( including GQ) 2 min flaxchia 16 min from workout (Then getting back on track by the fact that medical appointment was cancelled. 12 min prep food (lunch/dinner) 10 min during visualization and organizing to leave 10 min after apartment meeting (One apartment mate was late 15 minutes to it's beginning, so I sort of tried to compensate subconsciousle I guess.)

Out of timframe: About 30 minutes GQ. 53 minutes cleaning up room (1 hr 38 instead of 45 minutes) - well it was the first time i did it with the current tasklist, I think from here on it will improve Flaxchiaquinoa - 7 min 15 minutes outgoing call to mother(unplanned, because she said it was urgent) 46 minutes during pomodoros ( 9 minutes of which for measuring chainring size for bike to know what to order, and about 20 more for food, other 17 minutes just gathered up by 1-3 minutes late at breaks here and there) All at the expense of delveries, (5 hrs instead of 8 I guess subconsciously I allowed it since I made 29 deliveries yesterday and just needed 11 more for the weekend bonus. plust I'm really worried about the air pollution, and my mask seems to cause me to breathe hot air into my eyes all the time making them dry and sore.
  16. Hi visitor, you know, there's not one way to live. It all depends who you strive to be like. The people I want to be like guided me to care about time more than money (Countless books) Setting definite timeframes for schedule (Nir Eyal - Indistractable) Setting numeric goals, which helps "Gamify" life (Flow - Mihaly Csikszekmihaly) Writing things I want to accomplish in the moment for later and making them all in bulk (Getting Things Done - David Allen) Again focus on schedule according to values (7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey) They also taught me that people around me will naturally be trying to get me down, and that it is something they do subconsciously, especially when my goals seem to be reaching much farther than they are trying to. (The Boron Letters - Gary Halbert) I am not sure that's what you are doing, but from the outset it seems so. So perhaps again dig down and ask yourself, are you really being your 100%? Or are you not, and you're trying to justify it to yourself by putting me down? All this might hurt, but I'm telling you the truth, because you came here to this forum to accomplish a goal to quit games and you are a lot like myself in that aspect and I want to help you accomplish that goal! I am pretty sure that justifying lack of discipline is not the way to do it. Anyway, I might be wrong. As I said there's not one way to live life. But again I'll repeat myself. If the things you are doing are honestly suggested by the people you want to be like, please disregard all I've said. Also, I am not in direct opposition to "Letting go and walk and let mind wonder" in fact that is a regular daily part of my activities, along with meditation. But the "letting lose and giving reign to instant self" is something that is very frowned upon by the people I want to be like. I devoted about 20 minutes to this message, so here, you've got more than my parents did from me in months. I really hope you look deep down and ask yourself if you are doing your 100% and if you're accomplishing the goal you came here for. Because if not, consider reading the books I've suggested. (After all I've been clean from gaming for more than two years now, and I guess that's somewhere you want to be, isn't that right?) Please do not write unless you have something constructive to say. That means NOT: What I shouldn't do and how stupid I am etc. But INSTEAD: What I should do in your opinion and how it helped you from your experiences. And again, all I've said is just from my perspective and how I see things, I might be wrong in anything. Feel free to tell me if you think so (but please with examples from your own life and how it helps you. ) Thanks, best wishes, and let us - gamequitters, be gamequitters! Give 'em hell visitor. Edit: P.S. Here are two ways to help you get started reading the books(If you still aren't of course): 1. Set habit of 5 pages daily, just hold on for 21 days, then it should be easier. This worked great for me in the beginning for a few years, but now I mostly listen to them. 2. Get them as audiobooks and prooflisten to them during food or while driving etc. Then if you want to get deeper you may read the physical book or just re-listen ( I do it when I prepare food- currently it's about 30-40 minutes daily )

This way I would write GQ entry earlier, which always saves time, since the more time pases, the more time it takes me to reacall what happened the same day Out of timframe: As stated above - 20 minutes before and 25 after. the before was just because of pomodoro breaks (Mostly food, and a few minutes here and there late from the break + foodprep Relatively this is very minor (I felt guilty for yesterday's complete deviation from schedule, I guess it prompted me to act more disciplined and according to my values.)
  18. Entry (14.12)Written on 16.12= Day 446: No Useless Videos Day 444: Sticking to Food schedule Day 47: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 37: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -10 pomodoros -3 hrs deliveries -Quickly deciding to order much groceries from the "nut store" I usually buy by writing an organized list and writing where I'm planning to get all the things that are left. 1 Thing I could do better -Starting from calling my father during breakfast preparation, I let myself loose... I answered: -A spam call (Even though I did call them back on pause and not in middle of pomodoro) which went 13 minutes out of time frame (Apparently some sort of scam - telling me someone is trying to use my bank account abroad, and that I need to file a police complaint. When I refused they told me that they're going to hand in an application to block my bank account O_O so that it wouldn't be used by scammers... Don't know where this was leading but that;s what it was) -One call from father's wife regarding chlorella delivery from germany -Another call frm potential job (Selling insurances) I could have turned it down earlier by asking how many hours it requires and where it's located - 7 hrs and 30 minutes bike ride accordingly to one side -Returned call to father's wife from my own initiative to solve chlorella delivery problem possibly (Those three took 31 minutes out of timeframe) then I -Received yet another call from father's wife (+10 minutes) on the same subject -Another call from potential job place (Selling office equipment) - (+4 minutes) this time I was a bit faster on turning them down though... -Outgoing call regarding understanding whether cranberries that are available in the shop I purchase from today are with natural apple juice extract or somewhat artificial (+31 minutes out of timeframe) -Outgoing call during visualization to find out which bike parts to order -Outgoing call regarding cranberries since still didn't get an answer. Bottom line: After 1-2 minutes of figuring out what's up with each call I could have told them to call back on Sunday, especially the potential jobs. I understand how important it is to answer those since it could make me lose opportunities, but my time is also not limitless... Same is true with father;s wife even though I tried to be concise, could be more concise, ask her that too Activities that suffered from the changes I'm not going into more details since I already wrote much. Butoverall instead of leaving for deliveries at 16 40 as planned I left at 19 30 (So I lost 2 hours and 50 minutes of deliveries)
  19. Hmmmm, as regarding it affecting my productivity... It definitely puts restraints, and definitely comes at the expense of social activities as I've said before, as well as engaging with the world. Although I do have some rules which help me deal with it. The first one that comes to mind is that I allow myself to call people despite it being not written in schedule. Because if it's important enough to call, it's important enough to deviate from schedule for it, that said I try to be super concise in the calls. Also, I allow myself to open whatsapp for example or youtube if it is directly related to the activity I'm doing and is needed to complete it. This is definitely not perfect, and I do miss things of course because of not managing to answer people on time. For example I've recently discovered after 6 weeks, that some girl wrote me a flattering message on facebook (3 weeks passed, still didn't answer... and there are many more such examples.) To summarize: It definitely limits me, but I do not believe letting go of schedule is the solution, should maintain the overall discipline and possibly add some planned exceptions as I go along. That's the most effective way I found to treat all of this for now. If you have any better ideas however, I am open to hearing. Thanks for your comment. Edit: Food schedule update remains completely the same apart for added kale in the second meal - 40grams until it runs out. , and mushrooms will be either shiitake portobello or champignon i still don't know, most probably shiitake, in any case the overall size remains the same - up to 50g (cooked)
  20. Awesome! If you get results that's all that counts, however, the progress in workouts comes at the expense of other things, which is completely fine. But if you don't plan your day, you don't know at the expense of which activities, and may regret it in the long haul. Deciding not to plan exactly what you do during your workout in a specific timeframe is one thing. Not knowing how much time you want to devote to it overall is another 🙂

I also allowed myself to weigh myself in the close medical center (7 minutes) and make an appointment to a doctor to set blood test (5 minutes) (Perhaps it was the other way around though...) Anyway, when doing some unregular task, leave more time in schedule for it and really stick to the devoted timeframe Out of timeframe 9 minutes - planning next day(I guess also GQ) 58 minutes - order food from new store + cooperation with apartemnt mate + weigh myself + set blood test + try to figure out how to order stuff by weight at new store and compare prices to old one 2 - flax chia 1 minutes - meditate 17 minutes - training 6 min prepfood 15 min pomodoro breaks 34 min continuing to figure out whether the store received my remark as to units insstead of kgs and finalizing order after apartment mate went thhrough it without planned time for it... 28 more pomodoro breaks + about 1.5 hrs sleep All that was at the expense of job search and deliveries. 1 hour and almost 3 hours accordingly. Not exacting since i'm out of timeframe. Bye 🙂
  23. I also agree that some choices need to be made in the present. But not most of them, I believe that those that may not be predicted, like, for example you forgot that you had to buy a food supplement you are running out of and didn't include time to purchase it in the schedule, and just for the sake of the example it may take 20 minutes to do. Now you have a choice. What is your priority? Is it health? Or is it schedule? Or maybe it is the job you have to work at? For me In my last monthly plan I wrote the schedule as number one, so in those unexpected situations I try to act accordingly. Being is the present is again super important I agree. No multitasking, and completely immersing yourself in the task. But still having trouble agreeing on letting yourself completely loose.
  24. Entry 11.12 Day 443: No Useless Videos Day 441: Sticking to Food schedule Day 44: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 34: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -Back home at 22 00 -Having devoted 20 minutes to finances (A long neglected task) -Making two calls in the sphere of job search 1 Thing I could do better -Get faster out of bed with more momentum. (Since I got a bit too thoughtful and right on the first task of the day (Planning next day) slipped 15 minutes... (While writing GQ entry) Out of timeframe 15 minutes - gq 4 minutes - workout 5 minutes - prepare food 24 minutes - pomodoro breaks and cooking 13 minutes - visualization All that was at the expense of job search - About 1 hour instead of two
  25. I also had some breaking points, indeed I still do neglect my social aspect consciously and that is something I need to tend to. There's also something to be said about failing to plan (Not taking the immediate self into account) I definitely agree that emotion must be taken into account, because we mostly act just because of emotion. That said, while I think that the immediate self must be taken into account in the long haul (Write down what you feel in the moment to edit it in later), and in some cases for activities like workout you may write in advance - I allow myself to go 30 minutes over at the expense of doing laundry for example beforehand. But, not let it free reign anyway, (and delay gratification in the short haul) in my opinion. There's a fun sentence saying - If you're failing to plan, you're planning to fail. I still agree with it. I also believe that planning and controlling our "immediate self" is what differentiates us from animals. Anyways I'll comment upon the rest of the comment later, so don't comment on it yet, maybe I'll have more stuff to say before you want to. (Breaking it down to fit into the timeframe) So... To be continued xD
