Day 28 of 28
jlr123 commits to:
I will utilize my old motivation. The reason I do things is not due to discipline, it is due to the fact that I just do it. Its not called discipline, or identity. It's doing it because the alternative is so unquestionable that it is a stupid thing to even question it. It is just something you do. The end. I will begin applying that to certain goals as I go along. I will apply to at least one goal by end of April 2nd, and go from there.

March 24th: Total Screentime: 12 hours, 59 minutes Phone Screentime: 3 hours, 31 minutes Computer Screentime: 9 hours, 28 minutes Problems: - Social anxiety - Same problems aforementioned - Sometimes I rationalize away doing the right thing, so as not to do the right thing, or I pretend to forget what I am supposed to do (like today I rationalized not asking a girl out, and pretended not to remember my goals). - I acknowledge bad things and keep on doing them afterwards, like watching Netflix while or after writing this. - Desires do not equal actions right now - I often act on emotions in regards to being disciplined in studying/working Good strategies: - Identity change - Discipline is choosing the future you want over the feeling you have - Knowledge multiplies the worth of your time - A way to move on from wasted time: Acknowledge "That phase existed", Extract "These mistakes were made I won't repeat", and Redirect "From today forward, I operate differently" - Make your spoken word just as good as your written one - Have corporate-level discipline in some ways, universe-level discipline in others (see the Chat GPT for this) - Maybe pretend you are being watched/zoom group study/zoom room - Detachment (like Jocko Willink level detachment) - Act like professional (doing things excellent even when they are tired) instead of amateur (doing things generally only when inspired) - Act like adult (making plan and sticking to it) instead of like a child (doing what feels good). - Become more conscientious End of preliminary data obtaining section. Plan for change is being created. Stand by. |

March 23rd: Total Screentime: 10 hours, 58 minutes Phone Screentime: 2 hours, 8 minutes Computer Screentime: 8 hours 50 minutes Identified Problems: - Using the internet to alleviate social anxiety symptoms from social interaction or a lack thereof. - Isolating in a study room and studying for long periods of time with internet distractions. - Horniness - Maladaptive daydreaming/internet bad habits while at the dinner table, which include walking around with headphones on, listening to music, and engaging with exciting content. - I keep reactivating TikTok, rationalizing the price is worth it, or not thinking about what I am doing as I do it. I almost entered this entry point before activating TikTok, which means I would have done more work to reactivate it. Additionally, the reactivation of TikTok for productive means typically doesn't work well, but I want to make it work. - I still listen to YouTube/TikTok/Instagram/Netflix/Spotify while filling this out, possibly altering entries. Potential strategies: - Can maybe not think too much in regards to ignoring impulses, like I do when giving in to them, to prevent rationalization in regards to giving up to my impulses. Next period of report: March 24th |
