Had a late start to the day since I was resetting my sleep from the day before, however, I managed to get to get to bed by midnight which was exactly what I needed. Spent some time on sorting out finances and also did some vacuuming of my room since I haven’t cleaned it for a while. Make sure to always keep the slight edge in mind, it’s really important.

There are a few study groups in facebook with good links for material and tips about what worked for other people. But I can do without Facebook, and risk of getting distracted is simply not worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabula rasa Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Day 47/90 detox 23/11/2020 Monday Play games / watch game related videos? No Workout? Yes (push) Study? No Duolingo? Yes Reading? Yes Meditate? Yes Podcasts? Yes Sleep before 11:30pm? No (4:00am) This diary entry is a catchup diary entry. I have been sleeping extremely late recently due to being preoccupied with something personal as a result of a changing environment in my life. I want to prioritise my sleep over all else and that is my plan going forward. I watched some TV shows with friends and also went out to do some shopping for cleaning equipment.

No (1:45am) This diary entry is for yesterday. I had work and after work I was pretty ‘dead’ in that I had been quite sleep deprived from the day before. I didn’t manage to do any tasks except for exercise which is something I need to maintain my health. I’m losing myself a bit but I am confident that I’ll get back on track with my daily habits.

It's a bit personal but all I can say is that it has something to do with finances and I have heated discussions with family members. This is something that I can move into the daytime and just simply stop the conversation before midnight to prevent me from sleeping so late.

I’m getting a friend to keep me accountable for today (Saturday) so today will be the day I’m back on track. However, I did manage to do the other dailies with the exception of reading. I’ve also finally got a start on getting back into study after a long hiatus and have organised the materials I need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're staying on the computer past your desired bedtime, here's a suggestion that has worked for me. I set a timer on my router to shut off every night. I also don't currently have the password to my router so I have no way of changing it back. Now, I could use my computer without internet, but I've realized that most anything I would want to do is online. Maybe this would work for you too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I would be on my computer during the times in which I sleep past midnight. The router idea sounds like a great idea tbh. Is this a feature that your router has and if so, could you please tell me what model router that is? Although I do not live on my own and I live with family, cutting the internet off past midnight is a fantastic idea to get everyone to go to sleep. Thanks for the suggestion and it will definitely help - maybe even for me to set it to 11:30pm to cutoff, giving time to shower and be in bed by midnight.

A great start and the friend accountability thing worked! @championealalso suggested something very interesting like cutting of the router at midnight which I will look into. I’m also getting into the rhythm of studying and am prioritising meditating and reading a little less now since I don’t have too much leisure time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family isn’t too keen on turning the router off by midnight so I’ll have to hold off on that one for a bit. I attended another Toastmasters session and spoke impromptu for 1 minute. It was a bit nerve-racking but I did watch a couple of videos beforehand on how to do an impromptu speech so it went well in my opinion! Also socialised more with the attendees there. No study today though but I did catch up with a friend of mine and we watched a couple of episodes of a show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
