Welcome to the real world 🙂 That's what happens when you get freed up from lifesucking videogames. I suggest you read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. Mainly because I think the habit "Begin with the end in mind" may be of help to you. Because it may help you re-focus and bring the purpose you just lost which you used to tie (somewhat) with videogames I guess. Let me know if this helps. Keep it up 🙂

Day 34 I think I have been experiencing quite a bit of withdrawal. For me, it manifests in a near inability to engage with my work; my mind just drifts away, so I've been wasting a lot of time. What I do for a living has the advantage that it is very flexible. I've been dealing with it by pushing my deadlines and just going out for coffee and to the mall to shop for sneakers and just look at people. I haven't gamed, and haven't really felt an urge to do so, but I cannot push my deadlines indefinitely, because I get paid upon completion of my deliverables so it's a two-edged sword when money stops coming in. Luckily, my three clients are focused on something else at the time and have even welcomed not having to deal with me, but at some point, I'll have to fully engage again.  I haven't really gotten gaming cravings. It's more not having anything to do instead that bothers me. Piano (and now accordion) is fine, but I can't really sit at it for more than a while. I don't really scroll either, so there's a lot of "contemplation" time and that is kinda driving me crazy. PS. Thank you @Yan for your continued support, I appreciate it. 

16 Mar - 21 Mar: I've been busy this week, as I managed my usual of about 20 lessons while also going to two full days of 8 hours lecturer training. I had little time to do much else, but I feel good, as it was all quite useful. Spent some time now planning ahead and reflecting on the weeks to come. I have a lot of ideas in my head, but I need to start implementing them, so that there's actual positive change.

Thanks. There's a good chance I will, as I've been doing it for a few years 😄
