We are taking this day by day with a longterm goal of becoming a person who can easily lock in when required to and accomplish what he wants to accomplish (whether short or long term).

I have a pattern where I am very productive up until 7:00 pm, finish almost all my schoolwork but then start feeling good about myself and rot on the internet until 11:00 pm ๐Ÿ’€. On the weekends, it can be even worse.

I NEED TO STOP BEING A CHUD. I have been seriously working on it for a few days and thought that this would be good motivation for me as well.

Wasting time includes (but isn't necessarily limited to):

  • dilly dallying around after meals (a meal should take at max 30 minutes)

  • watching unnecessary Youtube videos (non educational ones) = bulk of wasted time

  • playing video games (I don't play too many)

  • playing chess or being on manifold for too long as a form of procrastination

What's not wasted time:

  • learning, studying, practicing, doing homework, working on a project, etc.

  • going to a social gathering is not wasted time

  • talking to friends for a natural amount of time

  • exercising or taking walks

  • sleeping <= 9 hours

Note: I will not be micron counting my hours. I am mostly talking about relatively large chunks of time.

...yeah...so it's labor day weekend so I kinda got a bit relaxed... I'm going to make up for it today

We are gonna try to do better. Itโ€™s gonna be especially hard during the weekend though

Update September 2nd: 1.5 hours

I spent too much time in chess and outside (I kinda just sat around after running)

Update September 1st: 1 hour

Running total: 1 hour

I will place a 200 mana bet on 31-45 hours and to give me more motivation. Similar to what @bigyahu did. Otherwise, I will keep away from trading. I know 45 hours is still a lot but itโ€™s a big step.

@Wobert i see you evened them out. Thanks
