I want to sign up! Thank you Cam for this initiative.

• I want to refrain from playing games, watching streams and youtube videos.
• I want this challenge to last for 30 days. I failed my attempt to do the 90 day challenge, so I will start with one month. Plus, June is a time when I will be fasting as part of Ramadan - what a great time to refrain from gaming.
• My ultimate goal is to detach myself from gaming and all other addictive forms of entertainment. I want to reach this goal by taking it one month at a time.
• There are so many things that I want to be doing with my life, and gaming has been, is and will always be an obstacle and a time sink to them all. There is no gaming in moderation for me as I have failed to do so all too many times. I feel, think and believe that I must stop gaming for so many reasons, yet I have not been able to snap out of it. Enough is enough. Now is the time for me to change myself. I always believe that there is nothing greater than willpower and hard work - I want to prove it to myself by completing this challenge.

You're in!

What are my commitments?

• No gaming for the next 90 days (I'm on 5 months streak now ).
• No PMO for next 30 days (30 days streak already)
• I want to learn Java everyday for 90 days
• Learn to do one hand push up by the end of June
• I'm going to meet new friends this month
• I want to spend minimum 15 mins on learning Japanese everyday for 30 days
• I want to read life changing books for minimum 25mins for next 90 days
• I won't eat any grains, sweets and processed foods for next 90 days (I'm on ~30 days streak)

Why am I doing this? Because I want to live life the fullest and I want to know that I can control my body (no gaming, no PMO). Also I want to find a job as programmer after one year. Someone may say that I have too many commitments. I dont think so. I love sport, I love reading and coding is also very cool (I need to find some kind of Mentor to check my code and give me tips), so it doesnt take much effort for me to do it. The only problem is that I lost motivation for learning Japanese, but I will comeback to it, because I commit that I will do it!  Good Luck with your commitments!
