1 Thing I Could Do Better
I was going to reinstall games and I had every reason to. But the deal breaker was the fact that I wouldn't be able to moderate only playing one hour a day. The more you game, the more you want to game, the more your brain wants to game so the more you game. After the '1 hour limit', I wouldn't be able to go back to doing the activities with more delayed gratification. I would definitely go over 1 hour. Therefore, it's kind of like wireheading in Nicky Case's AI Safety long form post.

The more you game, the more you want to game, the more your brain wants to game so the more you game. I'm still at it. Keeping the streak.
