I am struggling to keep up on my detox. thank you. but 1 thing is start a day streak like I did, you will not want to break it. And know why you're doing it, know what you want to achieve. Generaly think much of your urpose in life and the more you think of something the more you want it, and eventually the more likely it is to happen. That's just a very quick tip, more elaborations later Edited September 20 by Yan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way it's 721 days without "useless videos" not gaming, gaming is beyond the 1000 already I'm pretty sure. Anyway, I again think you must think of what you want instead of what you don't want. (If you tell your mind don't think of "pink elephant"don't think of "pink elephant" don't think of "pink elephant", guess what it will think of....) But if you tell it, think of rainbow colored butterfly, guess what it will think of then....? Also, you should know that it is harder initially and the more you go on the more it becomes second nature. For examle you don't think too much about brushing teeth... You do it automatically... It is the same here. Although there are some habits that are harde to set but as a rule of thumb, the longer you go, the moreautomatic it becomes. Just dn't break the chain. And again, remember why you're doing it, and why you don't want it to continue. Hope this helps, sorry for not being very gramatically concentrated.

I have made a purchase of some of the supplies for 1 week and am planning to purchase the rest on the internet. (Will post update then too, bt no changes are expected. The only thing that did change is that I am allowed to eat up to 3 tomatoes (Because the tomatoes at the store were small) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Cozy Posted Monday at 12:39 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:39 AM What timers do you use for Pomodoro? I.e. do you work 25min and then take a break for 5min, or something modified? I've been practicing Pomodoro at work mainly and find it to be tremendously helpful, but find that I had to customize it depending on what task I'm working on. So that is why I ask, out of curiosity.
