taichi Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Day 2 - evening Explained my situation in detail to my mother. I am grateful of her support. Meant to go to college but ended up not going today. Body is feeling frail. <written around 11:50 pm yesterday while forums were down> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichi Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Day 3 - 9:50 am Still thinking a lot about the mmo. How I could stream it and make videos about it. A part of me thinks that is a good idea, that is the part of me that wants to play games forever. Showered and had breakfast, also shaved a week's worth of beard. Must get myself to college. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taichi Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Acting on my tasks is the most relaxing thing, I suppose. But I can't help feeling paralyzed now that my major tasks are 1) thesis and 2) job hunt. 1) Thesis: I am utterly lost on this. Have a few books that I would like to read, but can't find in myself the energy to do that. Not even sure if I can extract a thesis from these books. 2) Job hunting: I do not possess the confidence or mental strength to expose myself to blunt evaluation. I am 2 years late on graduation (if ever) because of my own shortcomings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichi Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Thank you for the reply, Phoenixking. I tried a "3 hours of games a day" thing, but found out I wasn't enjoying the game much anyway. Must not forget how drained and dimwitted I feel after playing video games. My body needs exercise, not sedentary pleasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskieller Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Have you bought the Respawn course and tried that? I feel like you could benefit from reading that and committing to it. Other than that I hope you will figure it out. Good luck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taichi Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Day 2 Updated my environment: Only 60 mins of viewpure.com per day. ColdTurkey Pro is pure gold. *edit* My ColdTurkey schedule is something like... 0 mins of: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, most other distracting stuff, game I used to play, porn sites 60 mins of: Viewpure (a compromise for the occasional need to watch a video only on YouTube.)
