Well at least you did not masturbate. Glad you saw how unwise it is to fap at that time. Well the first few days are the hardest. Once you can make it to the first 24 hours, you can keep going.
4 days down! Achieved my mini-target of 4 days. Next target is 5 days. I am going to start some challenges (11 to be specific) to keep my mind occupied and strengthen my resolve.

Im just running 5 miles a day and learning calculus for 8 hours a day, and on weekends 12 hours. I believe one should focus on one skill that has the most fundamental value for person, since I want to be AI researcher calculus is my most fundamentally valuable task to learn.
I really commend you for your focus. I don't have that kind of self-discipline. I used to be able to learn coding for 4 hours a day before the Covid-19 pandemic and the recent death of my brother caused all sorts of emotional turmoil and right now I can't even muster up the energy to do anything productive. I am constantly distracting myself with social media and watching videos on YouTube. My aim with the challenges is to develop discipline, remove distraction and just get a dopamine detox. I also need to get back to learning JS cause that is my main goal to become a full-stack developer.
5 days completed! Mini-target of 5 days achieved. Next target is 7 days!
