    Some people are trying to reboot however they are focusing on days going by or using motivation to get by. The truth is rebooting is about become the person you want to be and get the life you want! You can only do that via discipline and grit not motivation.

    So how do you get discipline.

    1) Use the power of Obliquity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BoAtYL3OWU). Have a large goal and then forget about it and just do the small thing to reach it. If you want to lose weight, for example. Do not think about the weight you want to lose. Rather think about exercising everyday and create a journal and then just do it. (Reach your goals by not focusing on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2PP3p4_4R8)

    2) Create countdown clock on your goal with a minimum of 66 days. (It takes about 66 to form a good habitt (Charles D Power of habit. Call it "(name here) diary". That way you know it relates to your diary / journal. (http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/create)

    2) Create the journal and write in everyday. For example excising: Number of days in one columns, the food you eat and the exercise and next days exercise. (if you want to work out. (It also works for other things, like learning a language, playing a musical instrument etc etc).

    3) Do 5- 20 minutes of whatever you need to do everyday for a 100 day. However just focus on day at a time. Have urgency to do it.

    4) Repeat, have the same time as the last day. Then repeat.

    5) Remember tomorrow does not exist, and neither does yesterday. Only the present, therefore just do it.

    Discipline is greater than motivation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMnMp-d5pKs

    (Sorry this is badly written. I have just done 10 days of HIIT exercises in row, day after day. Its late and i'm tired. And 16 days of exercise out of 20 (4 days of being unwell)).

    ps I read and reply to all emails, so send away. (Right now I have done 64 of no PMO hardmode and "only" have 26 days left until 90).

    I really like your point in the beginning. It's not like we can just abstain from PMO for a certain amount of days and then we'll be cured. It's about changing who you are and becoming a new person. I completely agree. I've journaled every single day of my sobriety and pushed my self to change who I have been for the past couple of years and I have felt a lot of great change in my outlook, desires, and confidence.

    The "way of life" is a great app for creating/tackling habits.

    Other than that, I can advice to watch several videos of Elliott Hulse on discipline, he really gets me thinking and helps me finding inspiration for becoming the strongest version of myself.
