The No Screen Challenge

2/7

Thanks

 

3/7. First time in months I'm beginning to wake up earlier than my wife. Feels pretty good

 

4/7

 

5/7

 

6/7. Feels good, I will lengthen the challenge to 14 days.
6/14.

 

18/30

 

7/14, slight over time because I wanted to finish the chapter I was reading, nothing harmful.

 

10/14, extending it to 30 days.

 

11/30

 

12/30

 

14/30

 

Yesterday it was tempting to finish the movie I was looking at, it was 40 minutes left when I hit my deadline. But then I felt like I didn't want to break my streak. I'm happy I had the power to just say no.

So, 15/30!

Wow, you're doing amazing! Keep it up!

The crisis in Texas threw me off. That kind of thing's been happening a lot lately: a crisis hits (the pandemic, the coup attempt, now the storm/power outage) and I get agitated, which, in turn, leads me to be unproductive and distracted. And it lowers my self-regulation, so that I end up eating less healthy, working out less, and bingeing on the internet, including porn. I'd like to find something to do about this, as I'm not sure we're done with crises, sadly. A stronger meditation regimen might help.

I'm starting a new month. Instead of aiming for a streak, I just keep track of the fraction of days in the month that I meet my goal. I'm just aiming to make it as high as possible.

My tip to cure that: https://www.google.se/amp/s/helloen...ease-dopamine-to-boost-your-productivity/amp/

take those points and think about doing these things all the time - like every second if you can. Transform it to your new personality.

21/30. I've been waking up before 6 am every day the last two weeks. Earliest was yesterday, had a coffee at 04:50
