2nd Journal

Hey Matt, don't limit yourself to a job vision in this gym, if it is really important to you. Search around, be willing to travel a little longer, and possibly even move to another place if necessary. This way the odds will not hold against you. (That is of course if it is very important to you)
But if it's just a nice to have then you will possibly get it or possibly not, the chances are waaaay lower than the first option I described.

P.S. by "don't limit yourself to a job vision in this gym" I mean, see yourself in other possibilities too, and not just visualize yourself specifically in that gym.

Spot on. When it's getting hard remember you're not alone. There are other people walking the same path as you. Here on the forum and in other places.
We need you to fulfill your potential and make the best contribution to society, for the well being of us all. Which is, what I believe, the most important thing a man could do.
I mean how much further could you come than the invention of the light bulb? Or another long lasting impact on society that lasts way longer than your death?

If there wouldn't be such a possibility and you were 90-100% sure you could pull it off, probably there wouldn't be a need to talk about or journal this streak in the first place.

IT would also not be interesting or challenging. So cheers to you for taking challenges on that get you out of your comfort zone and get you to in fact widen your comfort zone and abilities (probably :) )
I'm not sure they do it with ill intentions, some of them are gamers themselves. However intentionally or not, that is indeed the result (sucking up your time, attention, money[sometimes] and energy). A bit like a drug dealer who's using the drugs themselves.

Couldn't blame the guy can ya'?... ;)
That said, drugs is not my thing. And it seems like it's not yours either. (But don't judge the guy you just end up harming yourself, because it's not like you need to fight what his doing, but rather just focus on getting through your day. Which is the only thing under your control, or at least under the biggest amount of control, right?)

See you at the top (Maybe, if we'll keep it up and god allows it :) )

No useless videos for 90 days.

Entry 26.12 (Written on 27.12 night)
Weeks until average life expectancy: 2746 (80th birthday)
Day 342: No Useless Videos
Day 1176: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 27: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 32: Being in bed before 23:15
3 Things I did well, no matter how small
-3 separated meals by 3h 45m
-2 Pomodoros
-10 German units
1 Thing I could do better
-If I find myself going to bed earlier than planned, then start the timer. For 10 minutes, not 15. Let's see if I can at least make that.

I usually wait till the end of the conc. unit anyway, so it'll probably need to be 10 additional minutes after the end of the pomodoro where I drink or wash my face

3 Separate meals (or less) but without combining any of the three) and 3hrs 45 minutes in between at least Day 1 It seems I've still dozed off and with acid reflux at that. If I keep going like this unhealthy things most probably are to follow. Must find a solution. For now the solution is prioritizing this streak until it reaches 21 days. If it doesn't work, other solutions will need to be searched
Fell asleep earlier than scheduled - 1/21
Went to bed on time - 0/21

Day 86/90
Yes 👍
Thanks Yan, I'm really looking forward to hitting that 90 days StopGaming/GameQuitters, and yes I will continue on to 180 days!
I think I can get to 90 days no porn, but it's WAY tougher than quitting gaming (for me), so I may still fail on the road to 90 days PornFree.
One thing that popped in my head (to motivate us all): No one cares about your (my) dumb little pixels on your dumb little game except you (me), so stop wasting time, pull your pants up and STOP GAMING! WE CAN DO THIS! I guess the reason I say that is because in some of our minds we think 'If I get level 60 and show off my epic sword, people will like me, respect me, and I'll get a girlfriend!' - Nah man, nah dude, it doesn't work that way. Put that energy and effort into something that actually improves your life for you, no for some money-hungry game dev that just wants to suck up all your time, attention, and energy. It ain't worth it.
See you all at the TOP ⚔🛡⚔🛡
