Hi guys,

Not a streak check-in but I'm wanting to try to swap the more unproductive tasks that I'm doing now and swap them out with more productive tasks.

I'm going to take it slow, but one thing I sometimes do is still watch Twitch/Kick etc. streams/highlights when I'm bored, or watch video game videos, read news, etc. It was something I said I'd do in my intro post, but I haven't quite gotten around to it.

So from today I'm going to do my best not to watch any gaming streams, videos, or read any news. I haven't been playing any games for 177 days, but sometimes I do still watch streams, watch videos, etc. when I'm bored.

This new streak will be 'NoVidyaMedia', again not the same as the GameQuitters/StopGaming streak, as that's only for not playing video games, this new one is to basically shut out all gaming media as a whole. Might be difficult at first but it's one of the few things I'd like to completely quit.

There are a few other streaks I'd like to work on, such as:

• NoStream (This is for streams not related to vidya, typically Kick has a lot of IRL streams, which I'd also like to stop watching as it does take time away from productive tasks)

• NoSurf (Meaning no random internet surfing)

• NoYouTube (Productive/motivational videos are allowed, but it has to be mindful, meaning I have to have meant to, and purposefully, watch the video. Not just randomly stumble onto YouTube and go on a binge, even though I should be working/studying/completing productive tasks)

• NoDiscord - I very rarely go on Discord anymore anyway, but it's something I'd like to completely stop doing.

• NoTikTok - Again something I very rarely go on to, but sometimes the constant scrolling can keep me locked out of real life for a good 30 minutes or so.

The things I'd like to replace the above with more are:

• Working out more.

• Focusing on my diet more.

• Reading more on my Kindle app.

• Working.

• Studying.

• Socialising.

• Movies and TV shows in my downtime, rather than the streams, YouTube videos, etc. (Movies and TV shows are much slower burners, they don't give out as much dopamine as video games, not as addictive, etc.)

These streaks I won't implement just yet, I'll take it slow and start with 'NoVidyaMedia' streak, and add them once I feel more comfortable with the current streak I'm on.

This is a message as a reminder to myself that I'd like to read this message a bit more thoroughly and possibly answer. Albeit I make no promises whatsoever :)

Cheers!
