I think punishment alone usually isn't enough to break the habit. Try taking it one day at a time and make gaming harder to access by uninstalling the games, blocking the sites, and replacing that time with something you actually enjoy. Don't be too hard on yourself if you slip—focus on getting back on track.Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:32:42 +0000Entry 12.08 (Done writing on 13.08) Weeks until average life expectancy: 2713 (80th birthday) Day 567: No Useless Videos Day 1401: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1440: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 301: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small -2 apt search units -2 BPE units -Sending a request for additional documents from Bituah Leumi 1 Thing I could do better -Get out of bed at the designated time Sleep documentation for the week Aug 10-11 7 18- 15 - 5 - 12 = 6h 46m Aug 11-12 9 17 - 15 - 33 - 13 = 8h 16m 3 hrs 45 minutes in between meals at least.

I felt extreme gaming pull after dinner, after which I just went to bed in an unplanned manner. The difference to regular days was: 1. I did the physical activity before the meal 2. The meal was done at 18 30~ Instead of the usual 16 00 - 16 30 A hunch tells me that the latter has more effect on the symptoms rather than the former. I might be wrong of course, nonetheless I may try eliminating the second first, because I need to start somewhere anyway, and possibly address the first one down the road if it seems not to be sufficient. P.S. I also opened a bunch of forums of gaming in the browser etc. and then read about how to block those again, because Steam opened even though it was blocked in my hosts file. So I ended up setting up also a registry block for Chrome for Steam, to prevent it from happening again down the road. Apparently what happened is that I emptied the cache and browser cookies, which allowed an initial loading of steam when I clicked it, and then it reestablished a connection bypassing the hosts file. With the new Registry solution it should be prevented from doing that, even if I someday again empty my browser cache/cookies.

Somehow when I sit there's a noise and when I stand there is none. Maybe it is because when I stand I put more pressure into the gear, whereas when I sit it goes more on the surface... Beats me... Bottom line stands however, when I sat it squeeked, when I stood it didn't. So if oiling it will fix it, I may possibly save quite a bit of wrist damage. Besides, it shouldn't be a very long activity.

The fact is that I know that too, it just I need a break from that really as I was pursuing that project for month continuously sacrificing a lot and now when I freed myself from it , I'm done . Not saying dropped the idea but I need full break from that . Thanks for leaving a comment on that though, have a good one mateSun, 09 Aug 2026 07:46:35 +0000Week 30 Developing Projects: One project finished. Stopped working. other ready and launch scheduled on 11st August Gym: Came back to regularity again. Summary of Week 30 I didn't write in a while. I was pretty busy with determining my life going forward based on what I actually want to do in life . And as long as I'm pretty know what I want to do I'm getting swayed away from time to time from my main course . Like I was with games, vibe coding recently . But I'm pretty sure I like to keep gaining knowledge and discover world and human as a species . Recently I read Selfish Gene by R.Dawkins and I was amazed by the idea the we organisms could be just vessels for gene to last, propagate and reproduce through millions of years , and evolution is just side effect that must happen when there is variety of organism, fight for limited resources . That all was so clear to me that I remembered suddenly what is the one thing that never bores me: science. With that realisation I no longer will be pursuing being milioner ... So that's my new goal, the pursue science as I was doing that for years until games hooked my couple of times and recently vibe coding projects . Frankly these kept me out from gaming as brought some level of stimulation so now when it's gone So I need to set a new goal . So with all the being said, I established new plan for being gaming free , it's not get to be milion idea but just keep learning rocket more knowledge.

A lot of people think gaming addiction is just playing too much, but for me it became much bigger than that. I was already playing Roblox every day all day, but then I got into automation and scripting. I started using deltaexecutorapp.io automation scripts inside different Roblox games. At first it felt harmless because I told myself I was "saving time." In reality, it made me even more addicted. I wasn't just playing anymore. I was constantly looking for new scripts, testing different ones, changing settings, checking whether they were still running, and jumping between games every time a new update came out. One week I'd be obsessed with Grow a Garden, then it would be 99 Nights in the Forest, then Fisch, Steal a Brainrot, RIVALS, or whatever game was trending. Every game had something new to grind, another update to prepare for, another reward to unlock, or another script to try. The weird thing is that automation didn't free up my time like I expected. It actually made Roblox eat up my entire day. Even when a script was doing the repetitive work, I couldn't stop watching it. I'd keep checking the screen every few minutes, switching servers, tweaking settings, restarting things, or moving to another game. Instead of playing for an hour, I'd end up spending the whole day thinking about Roblox. Before I realized it, I was sitting at my desk for well over 20 hours some days. I'd wake up, turn on my PC, launch Roblox, and suddenly it would be 2 or 3 in the morning. I barely went outside. I stopped exercising. I skipped meals sometimes because I didn't want to interrupt what I was doing. Looking back, I honestly felt like a dead body sitting in front of a monitor. My health slowly started getting worse. My eyes were constantly dry, sore, and blurry from staring at the screen for so long. My back hurt almost every day because I was sitting in the same position for hours without even noticing. My sleep schedule was completely destroyed, and I was exhausted all the time. My parents noticed long before I admitted there was a problem. They tried everything they could think of. They talked to me calmly, they argued with me, they took away my computer, limited my internet, and kept telling me I was wasting my health. Every time I'd promise them I was cutting back, I'd end up right back where I started. I always had another excuse: "Just one more update," "just one more script," "I'll stop after this event." Looking back, I feel bad because they were trying to help while I kept convincing myself I had everything under control. Eventually my health got bad enough that I had to go to the hospital more than once. That was the moment it finally hit me that this wasn't just a hobby anymore. It had become something that was affecting my body, my family, and my daily life. Today I'm 74 days away from that lifestyle. I still think Roblox has some amazing games and I don't hate the platform, but I had to accept that I was the one who had lost control. For me, automation didn't reduce the grind—it made it easier to stay connected to the game 24/7, and that made it much harder to walk away. If you're reading this because you're struggling with gaming addiction, don't wait until it starts affecting your health or your relationships. I kept telling myself I could stop whenever I wanted, but the truth was I couldn't. Getting away from that cycle has been one of the hardest things I've done, but it's also one of the best decisions I've made.Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:37:16 +0000Food Plan Update 6.8 - 20.8 (Not including 20.8) -Alright so for today everything remains the same except for 5g almonds and cashews more at breakfast. After I have gone to the store, which should occur today, another update is to take place tomorrow morning hopefully. Why the almonds and cashews change? Because I assume I might be spending more calories than I'm taking in, and since I currently have no "big" "human-weight" weightscale, I have no way to check this. Hopefully I may get one before making the next meal plan in two weeks From tomorrow on I shall eat 20g flax instead of 10g flax 10g chia(separated to breakfast and dinner) Why? Because I'd like to start replacing flax seeds with olive oil, but I'd like to have the flax seeds run out first, which is why by eating 20g a day - I speed up the process. Edit 6 11 am 6.Aug. Apparently i have pre-prepared chia seeds for tomorrow, so let us begin with the flax replacement at 8. Aug. Edit 7 26 am 7. Aug. Alright so everything remains the same except for: Two apples instead of one throughout the day and the banana is to be transferred to dinner, which is to be taken during the bike ride. Dinner: 50g cooked dates, but possibly also alternating with dry ones 1 per 1 g until cooking a new batch 15g of cashews added 1 banana -a tiny bit of salt may be experimented with and see if it dries me up too much if I take it with the food. Reason for this update: Estimated deficit of calories as I ride a lot on the bike, take 4000 cals daily, but also do a weekly fast day, 3500 daily do not cover the need to get weight boost. which i probably need because of being underweight. (some 2000-2300 bike riding daily + some 1300-1500 BMR) Nutritional yeast and Nori needs are to be updated further along. Salt is to be taken until it runs out Apples - the 1 fifth I took is to be written out as an extra. So that I still have a surplus of 1 and 2 sixths of the old apples and half of the new apples(besides the recently added half) or whatever it shall be with the addition of the 1 fifth Any additional edits are allowed until the end of monday. Edit 08. Aug. 7 46 am: Nutritional yeast is to be spread 2g at breakfast, 2g at evening until Nori arrives, then a more precise documentation of both foods is to be made Reason for change: I really need the B12. If the lack of it could cause health problems and every day I miss the daily intake, I'm going to take 3 more days to restore the deficit, then it is worth the 14 Euros, even if I don't get them back. Besides even though 4g causes me to be over the UL of 35 mg for B3, out of those 35 mg only 17g are supplemental which the National Institute of health defines as the only source that counts "The UL, therefore, applies to both forms of supplemental niacin. However, the UL does not apply to individuals who are receiving supplemental niacin under medical supervision" - https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Niacin-HealthProfessional/ This means I shall have 1.8 mg B12 for the next few days at the very least, so I'll be getting into less of a deficit. (Full amount needed is 2.4 mg) but 1.8 mg is clearly more than 0 mg P.S. I was waiting to apply because I wanted to get the Amazon refund first, but it's worth it to already begin, regardless of whethe r I get the refund or not... health is more important I believe. Edit 9.Aug. 7:25 am: 1. Banana shall be interchanged for an apple on sunday morning 2. Nutritional yeast shall be eaten only at dinner - 2g 3. Nori to be eaten 1 piece at breakfast Clarification 9. Aug. 7 56 am Nori is to be eaten 1 piece on the first week on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, two thirds on Friday Next week 1 piece on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, two thirds on Friday Generally speaking if all goes well Edit 10. Aug. 7 28 am Nutritional yeast clarification: -On the day I eat no Nori, eat 2g nutritional yeast in the morning and two in the evening, in return omit 2g of nutritional yeast a day before (Specifically for today's instance it should be a day after, since I already consumed 2g the day before.) -On the day I eat 2/3 Nori, add 3g nutritional yeast instead and omit 1g of nutritional yeast for the day before Reason: It is better to balance out the B12 intake, because the daily dosage that can be absorbed is limited.

It all started with Roblox, but over time I got really interested in automation. I came across deltaexecutorapp.io and started using different automation scripts for repetitive tasks. At first it felt amazing because I thought I was being more "efficient" using Delta Executor. Eventually I wasn't even playing for fun anymore—I was just chasing progress. The weird thing is that automation didn't save me time like I expected. It actually made things worse. I'd wake up thinking about what I wanted to automate next, come home and immediately sit at my PC, then spend hours tweaking scripts, testing new ones, or planning what I was going to automate the next day. Even when I wasn't actively playing, Roblox was constantly on my mind. Before I knew it, I was spending 12–20 hours in front of my screen on some days. My eyes were always sore, my back hurt almost every day, my sleep schedule was completely wrecked, and my parents were constantly telling me to get away from the computer. We argued about it more times than I can count because I'd always tell myself, "Just one more hour," but that one hour always turned into five or six. Looking back, I don't think I was addicted to Roblox itself. I became addicted to the feeling of making progress, optimizing everything, and seeing numbers go up. The automation removed all the repetitive parts, which ironically made it even easier to spend my entire day glued to my desk. That was probably the point where I realized I had completely lost control. Things eventually got bad enough that I started noticing the impact on my health. My eyes were constantly strained, my posture was terrible, and I felt exhausted all the time. I even had to visit the hospital a few times because I had ignored my health for so long. That's when it finally hit me that no virtual progress was worth sacrificing my body for. These days I'm trying to build healthier habits and spend a lot less time gaming. Looking back, I wish I had realized sooner that there will always be another game, another update, or another thing to grind. Your health, your family, and your real life are a lot harder to get back once you've neglected them for too long. No game is worth sacrificing those things.Wed, 05 Aug 2026 19:02:02 +0000Looking back at your posts, it sounds like you've already answered your own question. If you're spending 3,000–5,000 hours a year gaming and you're saying you don't enjoy it as much anymore, then I think it's worth trying a break. It doesn't have to be forever, but giving yourself some distance might help you figure out whether you're playing because you actually enjoy it or just because it's become a habit. One thing that helped me was realizing I couldn't just remove gaming without replacing it with something else. Having free time with nothing to do made the urges much worse. I found this hobby tool from Game Quitters that gives you ideas based on your interests, and it actually helped me think of things I hadn't considered before: https://gamequitters.com/hobby-tool/ Even if you don't quit forever, I think taking a proper break and finding a few hobbies outside gaming will give you a much clearer answer than trying to decide while you're still playing every day.Wed, 05 Aug 2026 19:00:26 +0000You're doing something that a lot of people struggle with: being honest about the good days and the bad ones instead of pretending everything is perfect. I respect that. I also like how you're replacing gaming with things that actually help you grow, whether it's writing, reading, meditation, or just learning to enjoy quieter moments. Progress isn't always a straight line, but looking back through your journal it's obvious you're learning something from every setback instead of giving up. Wishing you the best with the writing too. Hopefully one day you'll look back at these entries and realize they were the beginning of a much bigger chapter in your life. Keep going—you've already come further than you probably give yourself credit for.Wed, 05 Aug 2026 18:27:26 +0000Thanks for the peptalk :D I indeed agree with you Either discipline or just well built habits. I'd bet on the latter. The discipline is only required in the beginning to build the habit itself. Then it is the habit that carries you to your desired actions in the longer term, the way I see it.Wed, 05 Aug 2026 15:30:45 +0000Entry 4.08 (Written on 5.08) Weeks until average life expectancy: 2714 (80th birthday) Day 559: No Useless Videos Day 1393: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1432: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 24: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small -Having ordered a B12 source(Nori Gimme) -About 1 hr nap once more -1 BPE at the very least 1 Thing I could do better -Get 8 hours of sleep in the night.

For some kids, it is almost like digital Lego where they are practicing problem solving, planning, creativity, and experimenting with ideas. At the same time, the endless nature of the game is probably what makes moderation difficult. Unlike a game with a clear ending, there is always another project to build, another world to explore, or another goal to chase. I think the important part is understanding what the child is getting from it. If they are mostly creating, exploring, and enjoying the process, that is very different from feeling unable to stop or thinking about the game all day. The same activity can have very different effects depending on how it is being used. Finding a balance where gaming is one interest among many other activities seems like the healthiest approach.Tue, 04 Aug 2026 17:45:35 +0000I think one thing that makes gaming difficult to step away from is that it is not only about the games themselves. A lot of games become connected to our routines, memories, and even our identity. So when you stop playing, your brain naturally goes back to those familiar patterns. What helped me understand this is that replacing gaming with another activity is usually more effective than just trying not to think about games. Having something you are working toward, whether it is learning a skill, improving yourself, studying, or creating something, gives your mind another place to focus. I also think it is normal for game thoughts to appear sometimes. The goal probably isn't to never think about games again, but to reach a point where you can choose when to play instead of feeling controlled by it.Tue, 04 Aug 2026 17:44:09 +0000I really like the way you explained the “empty time” problem. I think that is one of the hardest parts people underestimate when quitting gaming. It is not just about removing the game itself, it is about replacing that easy source of entertainment and reward with things that usually require more effort at the beginning. Something I have noticed is that the first few times you choose the harder option (reading, learning, going outside, working on a skill, talking to people), it feels less rewarding than gaming because your brain is used to instant feedback. But over time those activities start becoming rewarding in their own way. Also respect for the way you are focusing on identity, not just a streak. Saying “I don't identify as a gamer anymore” is probably a much stronger mindset than only counting days. Keep going, your journal is a great reminder that quitting is not just about stopping something — it is about building a different life.Tue, 04 Aug 2026 11:56:04 +0000Really impressive consistency with this journal. I like how you are tracking more than just avoiding one habit — sleep, meals, exercise, and daily actions all seem connected. The way you record small wins is probably one of the best parts because progress usually comes from doing simple things repeatedly, not from making huge changes overnight. Keep going. The fact that you have kept this going for so long shows a lot of discipline.Tue, 04 Aug 2026 11:54:07 +0000I've been trying to spend more time reading instead of automatically going to screens when I have free time. I think books about habits, psychology, and personal growth are especially useful when trying to change routines. Atomic Habits is one that gets mentioned a lot for a reason. It focuses more on building systems and small changes rather than relying only on motivation.Tue, 04 Aug 2026 11:48:29 +0000Entry 3.08 (Written on 4.08) Weeks until average life expectancy: 2714 (80th birthday) Day 558: No Useless Videos Day 1392: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1431: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 23: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small -About 1 hr nap -2 Apt.

Breaking multiple TVs and ending up in the hospital shows how intense the anger and emotions became. I think the biggest thing is not just removing games, but understanding what triggers those moments and learning ways to handle the frustration before it reaches that point. Things like stepping away, calming down, exercising, or talking to someone can help build that control back over time. Also, it’s interesting how certain movies or characters became connected with gaming urges for you. The brain can make strong associations between things we enjoy, but those associations can weaken when you create new habits and experiences. Hope things keep improving for you.

Games themselves aren't necessarily the problem, but if they start replacing school, work, sleep, or real-life relationships, that's when it becomes unhealthy. Everyone's situation is different, so it's important to find a balance that works for them.Fri, 31 Jul 2026 20:24:29 +0000Thank you for sharing your story so openly. It takes a lot of courage to be this honest about something you've been struggling with for so many years. One thing that stood out to me is that you haven't given up despite all the setbacks. The fact that you've repeatedly tried to quit shows that you genuinely want to change, even if the addiction keeps pulling you back. You've also identified many of your triggers—stress, boredom, exhaustion, and having unstructured free time—which is an important step. Recovery is rarely about willpower alone. It often requires changing your environment, building accountability, and finding healthier ways to respond to those triggers. You're not alone in this. Many people have overcome gaming addiction after years of believing they never could. Since you're looking for coaching, I think that's a positive step. Having someone who can help you stay accountable and work through the underlying habits may make a real difference. I sincerely hope you find the support you're looking for. Wishing you the very best on your journey—you've already taken an important first step by asking for help.Fri, 31 Jul 2026 17:54:50 +0000Entry 30.07 (Written on 31.07) Weeks until average life expectancy: 2715 (80th birthday) Day 554: No Useless Videos Day 1388: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1427: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 19: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small -2 BPEs -Trying to arrive at 16 24 train even though it was very close -Quickly getting over the mixing up of orders, forgiving myself and continuing to the next orders in a focused manner 1 Thing I could do better -Avoid the assumption that I remember the order number, and ALWAYs check that the number on the package fits the delivery number, as well as the customers name which I usually already do.

All routines were neglected as a result. Aswell as more important tasks, because naturally, the mind gravitates towards the "easier" tasks, when no plan is in place. Chitchatting for 3 hrs is easier than confronting the fact that I don't know if I should write to my insurance company another contact and the same to the Immigration authority. Checking out product descriptions is "easier" than working on a businessplan or doing pomodoros. Or for that matter searching for an apartment. Many of these things are bound with uncertainty(Regarding how to proceed and whether I'll get a result, and which option will be the most effective, etc.) and require decisions, which naturally give the pain of not deciding for the other option, which is why it is "easier" to coast.

It might just be that it wasn't exposed to enough people, or didn't speak to the right audience in a focused enough manner(Marketing). Do you have your target market defined? Do you speak explicitly to this market? Have you been online long enough to be visible? It's often more about the marketing than it is about the product itself. Think about it: If you have the most awesome, perfect product in the world, but you don't get it to the right people it will never get off the ground. However, if you have great, awesome marketing and only a mediocre or mediocre- product it will still get traction.Mon, 27 Jul 2026 07:23:30 +0000Entry 26.7 (Written on 27.07) Weeks until average life expectancy: 2715 (80th birthday) What have I done to move towards my long term goals this week? -21 BPEs (Equal to some 5.5 hrs) absolutely requires some adjustment -Daily moving my body -1 Pomodoro daily to maintain a tiny spark of dormant main project alive What could I do to move towards my goals faster? -Stick closer to my pre-written daily plans (return to 10 min deviation daily goal) Day 550: No Useless Videos Day 1384: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1423: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 15: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small -Ordering a new phone screen, even though it was in an unplanned manner and cost me soem 2 hrs, because after deviating from schedule I also allowed myself to go clean the house as preparation for the house planning in an unplanned manner -At least 3 BPEs once more. -Double workout 1 Thing I could do better -Planning a bit more meticulously and sticking to the plan more precisely, so that I manage to get a nap.

Many people are now thinking about how their clothes are made and how they impact the environment. When you shop for clothes, do you check if the fabric is eco-friendly, or do you usually focus more on comfort and price? Would you be open to choosing sustainable options if they feel just as comfortable and affordable?

Sunflower oil is back and the separation is again 20 at breakfast and 20 rapeseed oil at dinner 2. Apples might be eaten in quantity of 1 once the new one are to be used and the old ones run out, that said ,they are to be equal to the previous two thirds, also for the purpose of "recovering" food 3. Cucumbers are only to be eaten a third, without the small ones. (Although I am allowed to finish the small one I already have -If I find Tahini/Dulse/Nutritional yeast, I shall add those to the nutrition -All the changes were "Successful" the ones I was supposed to measure at monday, and are to remain as is. -Any additional changes are allowed until the end of monday in case I forgot something or want to add something Edit 28.07 5:59 am Nutritional yeast arrived yesterday. Shall try adding 6g to the flax seeds and report on Friday if I want to change it to just dinner or so Edit 1.08 11:35 am (Saturday) I haven't eaten the nutritional yeast, because it had more B2 than expected and I was trying to get a refund. Now Amazon told me they will refund it, but that the product is non-returnable nonetheless, even though I didn't yet open it. Which means that once I get the money, I'll probably eat it at a smaller amount than originally planned, about 2g. For that I am still waiting for the payment though. Moreover I'll definitely need to take care of another B12 source, as 2 grams will not be enough to meet the RDA of 2.4 mcgThu, 23 Jul 2026 03:41:35 +0000Entry 22.7 (Finished writing on 23.07) Weeks until average life expectancy: 2716 (80th birthday) Day 546: No Useless Videos Day 1380: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1419: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 11: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small -Sending in Email to LRA -Quickly adjusting to the situation and going back home when the dentist told me they'll have no time to accept me today -5 BPE units 1 Thing I could do better -Get out of bed as planned or at least some 15 minutes earlier to get to the dentist exactly on time ---STOPPED HERE ON 22.07---- Sleep documentation for the week July 20-21 = 69 + 7 16 - 15 - 10 - 10= 7h 50m July 21-22 = 9 12 - 15 - 10 - 8 - 3 = 8h 36 (1h 44from first alarm, so if we count from 1st alarm it'd be 6h 52m) 3 hrs 45 minutes in between meals at least.

"T" will stand for done this term. I added "Future goals/direction" to better reflect on the things I am trying to do and to add specificity. I will copy it and stick it somewhere where I can see it to remind myself whenever I feel aimless. I will also use different colors: blue for newly added goals/habits, green for completed/successful, orange for ongoing/some progress and red for ones I haven't worked on in that period. Books/Reading articles/Learning: L: I've been reading (financial, but not only) blogs by Financial Samurai and Derek Hagen. I've also started a book recommended to me by my girlfriend on the lack and discrepancy of data on women from a feminist perspective, but I'm having a better time reading the financial blogs still. T: I've grown a bit tired of reading financial blogs, so I picked up the book again. I'd like to get back to reading daily. Possible direction/goals/habits: (Borrow) and read one book until the next monthly report. Read daily (a few times a week). Reading (and crosswords) are a good way for me to relax. Drop a book whenever I don't look forward to reading it. CHECK HERE EVERY MONTH. (While this is technically just a hobby, I like to keep it separate, because it's a big one.) Family: L: So my grandma was (finally and thankfully) hospitalized about a month ago. During one of the "routine" emergency ambulance visits, one of the medics noticed that her legs are in really bad condition, mostly due to poor hygiene. No surprise there, because I had called the emergency back in January because of her legs. She had a surgery in the hospital and they pumped antibiotics into her, but it seems that it's just a matter of time when they're gonna have to amputate her leg. She also had undiagnosed/untreated diabetes for a very long time, which doesn't help. She still delusionally insists that she's doing okay and looking forward to being home in her flat again... I met my brother yesterday for lunch and we had a good talk about his job and other stuff. - I had two visits to my grandma in the hospital, both with my parents. I'm happy that now she has daily care, though of course the bad news is that it's unlikely it'll ever get substantially better. On a brighter note, my parents and my girlfriend's met for the first time and it seemed to me they had a pretty good time together. T: I visited my grandma at the hospital, my mom at her spa retreat and I'm meeting my brother tomorrow over sushi. Nothing much happening otherwise. NOT: I don't want to get alienated from my family. Possible direction/goals: Work on getting the new kitchen for my grandma. Continue work on maintaining the relationships with my family. Keep in contact at least once a month. Business/English/Army: L: In the end, I got contacted by the company I sent the offer to, so something did in fact come out of it. I updated the price offer asked for a really premium rate this time, because I need to travel to get there. The outlook is good, I have more than enough work at this point. I'll have to make some price increases to reflect that. I also made a partial analysis of the rate of return on the website. I compared the performance of the last 8 months of the old website and 8 months of the new website. The old website "generated" 5 students and the new one "generated" 5 students as well. I also have three active inquiries now. I guess I was expecting more, but granted I also raised the prices and have enough work as it is, I'm not really bothered by that. I had a few army activities in April, including a SERE theory course. I'm still in contact with the "price offer" company. If it works out, great, I'll have extra 5-7 hours of work per week for a great rate. If not, I'll have more free time for myself. I win either way! I also sent out the questionnaire for this semester. Nothing else otherwise. T: So I managed to strike the deal at the company with the conditions being pretty much what I wanted. That's pretty good, as it's a lot of work for a lot of money. I also had some physical army testing and I managed to run longer, do more push-ups and sit-ups too. NOT: I don't want to have a job that I don't enjoy. I don't want to have a job that is not well paid. Past projects: Copied to a Google Doc to keep this less cluttered. Current projects I'm working on: Website improvement project - since August 2024 - finished August 2025 with some small upgrades in autumn 2025 lecturer trainings - ENG business February-May 2025 55 minutes F2F lessons (+ online reminder too); pricing updates I and one of my FIRE friends organized a teacher/lecturer meeting. Find more teachers/colleagues to share workload with (with or without commission). Areas to work on continually: English table update - check every now and then for improvements. Keep classes at around 15-20 hours a week. Keep asking for reviews or recommendations from students. CELTA colleagues calls. Go through "lecturer academy" + CELTA materials + lecturer course. Exercise/Movement/Health + 10-13 break: L: I had the army tests just two days after writing the last report. I passed, but I want to improve on my result, so I'm going again in two days. Managed to exercise 17/20 of my 10-13 breaks. I also dug up my run competition results from the last three years; I'm getting better, bit by bit. T: I did the army test and I managed to run longer, do more push-ups and sit-ups too. As for the breaks, by getting the new client, I effectively made it impossible to have a break on Tuesdays. I was thinking of going there on bike, but it's a bit too far for me (around 60 kilometers total). I allocate two hours to (paid) travel there and back even in the car. I'll count these days out for the future. That means I hit 15/16 of working days, out of the grand total of 24 working days. 8 days were not possible due to traveling and work. This might warrant some future thinking whether I actually don't want to change this to make time for exercise on Tuesday afternoon. Managed to cycle, hike and go to the gym with my girlfriend a few times at the weekend too. Attended a running competition/army test and marked down the results in the table. NOT: I don't want to become fat. Possible direction/goals: Keep in shape by exercising at least twice a week for 30-60 minutes. Have a session every weekday from January. Start flossing regularly. Incorporate balance and spine exercises. Keep on using the Oura ring to track vitals. Keep having the 1000-1300 break. Social + Personal Hobbies + Free Time (cool things I've done): L: Had another FIRE meeting, met my friend a few times and attended a pub quiz with a few other friends. We also watched the hockey championship. I also watched a few action and finance films when my girlfriend was away with her family for the weekend. T: I had yet another another FIRE meeting, met my best friend a few times, went to a pub quiz and attended a friend's birthday party. It was actually nice to see some old friends in a while. Possible direction/goals: Keep in touch with my friend groups (FIRE, quiz, best friends...). Relationship with my girlfriend: L: Since I've been off porn for a month, I have to say that we have better sex. I overall think the relationship is in a better place too. We also went to a funny talk show. T: Spent time together, went for a trip to a different city too. Visited her family. I even thought of how and when to get married. Possible direction/goals: Make time to talk every day. Keep on working on strengthening our relationship via common activities. Others: L: I felt a bit clueless as we were coming back home from the holiday last week, as if I had no priorities and no goals. This week proved me wrong. I actually felt quite beat-up at the end week, as I plunged from my active holiday of 10 days straight back into work. I have more than enough stuff to do and to work on that are meaningful - it's just that for a day, I felt that nothing was going on. This year, so far I've managed to sock away about 35% of what I made this year, after taxes. I've debated myself on whether I should take more holidays, but come to the conclusion: What would I take holidays from? There's not much point in doing so if I already do what I want and what I need. I've read something on living an international lifestyle - changing countries every few months to avoid personal taxes, but I guess it's not something that would interest me at the moment. Last but not least, I'll circle back to porn. It's been kind of back and forth for the last few weeks, but even months and years. I had some limited success of longer streaks of no porn in 2022 for a few months, no porn in 2024 for a month before the CELTA course (it was very insightful, but also very stressful). I obviously don't do it in social settings and sometimes I'm busy enough to not think of it for days or even weeks. It's not even that I watch porn for nudity and some depictions of sex, I think there's something else at play. After about a week of abstinence, I also feel my natural libido coming back. The issue is, I don't know how to help myself with it. I'm planning to do some research again on how to understand myself better soon. Continuing on my musings with money, considering what I've saved up through my work, I feel like I might start giving the money more purpose and intent. I might use it to give myself more free time, but I don't feel like overloading myself or neglecting an important area of my life. Just the balance and spine exercises and flossing come to my mind at the moment. I need to give myself some more time to think about this. @Heretic666 As I wrote above, my relationship with my girlfriend got better after about a month off porn. It's not that I've completely stopped thinking about it, but it's not even been that hard to abstain. In fact, I even managed to masturbate on my own (without porn), which is something I haven't done in a long time. I also feel more energy overall, so I might be getting better sports results. As a side note, my girlfriend and I went to a fertility clinic to check if we're both able to have a baby and the results were positive for both of us. As for battling the company that refused to refund me for tickets for a concert after it was canceled, I got a court order in my favor, so it's going well. T: Now I'm at 8 weeks of no porn. I'm going through an online course slowly and steadily at least a few times per week. I just don't need porn if I take care of myself; and that's easier to do if I have more control over my time. Week 27 (June/July week) was tough. It was very stressful (a surprising amount of work), as I didn't have time for myself, on top of a heatwave. Our flat is really exposed to sun, so it was a major pain. Despite that, I managed to not watch porn and I was grounded. Good job (just saying that to myself). --- Still thinking about new quality-of-life improvements, related to work, money and time. The 10-13 break every day is good. What's next? No work after X p.m.? Hard limits on the number of lessons? No work with "bad" clients? I don't know really. It's actually quite difficult to responsibly manage more than 25 hours per week due to the nature of my work. Even then, I feel like I have much to do besides work anyway, which I (still) don't do for example, using the inter-dental toothbrush, do balance exercise to fix my posture etc. How do I limit my workload with some intent and thought and maximizing the purpose I get from my work? It's a good problem to have, but I still want to solve it in a way that makes sense. --- For thought: Maybe I should just learn to plan better, though just the thought of having some hours of my day scheduled makes me cringe. Oddly enough, I don't get this feeling while planning lessons of my students, normally in bigger blocks. Maybe I should rethink that belief to make me happier. This might change with the late morning exercise lessons. 10-13 change works well. I've had this recurring thought every now and then that I am often somehow prevented from what I want to do in my free time; basically whenever I am not with students or sleeping. No, I just need to stop reading and learning all the time and start doing things. Imperfect action yields results. Information alone is useless. I like these reports, because they take me back in the calendar and let me see if there's something I've missed or something I need to check on again.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 13:55:17 +0000Entry 15.7 Weeks until average life expectancy: 2717 (80th birthday) Day 539: No Useless Videos Day 1373: Sticking to Food schedule Day 1412: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 4: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well, no matter how small -4 BPE units -Double workout -Making an appointment to the dentist 1 Thing I could do better -Start the workout straightaway, without dragging feet.

See you some day maybe. Cheers to your progress. Keep some sort of reflecting routine will ya'? I think the journaling here helps keep one accountable, and has worked for me for quite a while, so for me the saying "don't fix what is already working" goes. But if you found a better or equally worth replacement I'm all for it. Just keep sure that those are not "laziness excuses" that keep you away, because these 5 minutes daily or so may indeed make the difference.Wed, 15 Jul 2026 07:03:11 +0000I partly agree. I think quitting cold turkey requires discipline of course, which is finite, and shouldn't be exercised in the long hall. Indeed habits and environmental changes are what helps make it into something that requires almost no discipline, but, in order to allow yourself to find these new habits, it often helps to deprive yourself of the hormones that gaming fulfilled first, which in turn causes stronger cravings which pushes you to finding these new habits and routines. So, I think there's definitely a place for discipline and quitting cold turkey, but in the long term the overall environments and habits are what helps stick to it. Even then it is not an infinite solution, because once an addict - always an addict. You still have the neuronal connections that can fire up really quickly and throw you into old habits. And once you experience habit changes or "down times" cravings may return. Then again discipline is required for short periods while you're looking for a new bridge to a new environment. I guess the fact you don't need this forum is due to the fact that you reflect somewhere else, right? Because I may definitely understand that you don't need this forum. But I would argue that reflection in some way or form is indispensible. Let me know what you think if you read this message after all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, glad to see you're following your potential and are not participating in gaming. One more human who contributes to society and develops himself makes us stronger as a race as a whole, and of course makes you feel more fulfilled usually(so far as my assumption goes :) ).Wed, 15 Jul 2026 06:58:41 +0000Nono, I mean if you masturbate without porn , so just visualizing. Does that break the streak?

Still going strong, and I still plan on completing a full 90 days. I think the best part of this challenge for me is that it's given myself more time to actually think. It's not avoiding games that's great; it's opening up space in my brain to allow new thoughts and creative insights that I love.

Gotta say that it was actually it, I found the solution that actually worked (at least for me). I've played overwatch once in the past 3 years and it was in September of 2023. I don't play other games, though I've had like 3 minecraft sessions with my brother. I don't see myself even as a casual gamer anymore, that's something in which I have 0 interest now. I was absolutely right in my past few posts, quitting gaming cold turkey is bullshit. Gaming itself is not a problem, it is a symptom. And quitting something cold turkey is a very big change that most likely won't stick and you'll fall back to your usual routine. If you wanna change in the long run, you have to make small incremental changes in your routine over time. This way it will actually stick and become a habit. Two years ago I was hired as a engineer in a lab to design chips for image processing in the top 1 university in my country. I've been giving lectures and just gave my fist talk on a conference last month. Overall I became someone who I'd never thought I could become just a few years ago. All that you have to do is to put in hard work every day. Small incremental changes and minor improvements that would accumulate over years. I still have unresolved problems in social life, but overall I'm in a much better place. And ironically, I quit games but not wanting to quit games :) I won't be around anymore, because I don't need this forum, I wish everyone good luck on their journeys.
