    Day 0 I just had some sleeping tablets so I am writing this in a rush before I fall asleep and I am drowsy when writing it so sorry about the quality. I must write it now so I start tomorrow following my new rules.

    Since my last posts I achieved a lot such as working out my career path and eliminating most of my depression. I titled my post the way I did as long term I am going to be getting a education and career in finance by definition if choose the right degrees and jobs as a subsection of society I like others which picked the correct path as subsection of society will be the best investors in the world.
    I know scientists that are working on delaying and reversing the ageing process so as 24 year old I think science will 'cure' ageing before I die of it.
    This means getting high returns in investing is the best economic path at least I think it is for now and I will take that path.

    In regards to the short term I am going to be writing here for the next 90 days whist I quit porn, junk food and caffeine. I will see if I can quit fapping as well however I think its kind of natural and its only the man made porn that screws your mind.
    I hope primarily to develop a great level of motivation, drive, concentration just generally see quote on quote super powers in areas of productivity.

    As I am quitting caffeine I will immediately feel f**ked despite not being on a sizeable porn streak maybe by the time I finish caffeine withdrawals I will have porn withdrawals.
    Porn has really stuffed my mind I think I have written enough for now.

    I felt very fucked up this morning due to sleeping tablets in my system and not having caffeine. Not having any caffeine is a good start as its part of the trifecta no caffeine, no porn and no junk food.

    I had a small healthy breakfast of porridge and yogurt, I have just ordered a subway roll (chicken) I think this is healthy enough to not be considered junk.

    Edit (wrote this edit in a rush before an appointment) Just had one coffee with a single square of chocolate as I need it for a appointment and to get something done. Eliminating caffeine and junk is different to porn. When eliminating caffeine you should have a small amount when needed rather than going cold turkey to reduce withdrawal and sometimes having caffeine can be beneficial. Junk food is different as well as to me its more about having a decent diet each day rather than perfection also it is sometimes beneficial to have some for example to eat something like everyone else at a social event to be socially normal.

    I am still 0 days completed and I have been having some porn urges. Its very important for me to get away from porn so I know my true sexuality I don't want to be telling my psychiatrist that I have transgender thoughts due to over porn consumption.

    My nofap counter now says 1 day woot.
    Tonight I ate a lot of icecream to get some work done.

    I am very happy for reaching one day of nofap due to a important meeting and work load I did have caffeine (less the usual) and junk.

    I will retry quitting on the junk food and caffeine side of things, I just need to give my self an easy day with the chance to do that.

    That’s good man, keep it up. I hope you’re giving yourself a cheat day once a week, as elongating junk food forever isn’t realistic.

    Reply plus current day 3:24pm.
    Thanks man, yeah the original goal was to quit junk for 90 days however its morphing into rapidly improve eating habits.
    Last night and today I have had a lot of sexual fantasy's and took a risk where I might come across porn but thankfully didn't.
    Today I woke up tired as I had caffeine in my system and didn't have a sleeping tablet last night (so I didn't have enough sleep plus poor sleep quality).
    regardless I got up at my time of 7:30 am and had a ok health wise breakfast raisin toast bread with butter and a milk I stayed up for a while before going back to bed.
    The main thing is I wake up at the same time daily and have some food then I can go to bed as wake time with food establishes your sleep cycle.
    Upon waking again at about 10 am I had half a cup of coffee (with a small chocolate) as I had a full cup and chocolate yesterday and I am tapering off caffeine.

    I want to live forever as a young adult so I can enjoy life. Each year science progresses the world of the future could be amazing assuming humanity doesn't fuck up.

    Btw I had a cup of tea and a bit of junk this evening caffeine is still less each day and junk is being clamped down on fast.

    I plan on having sleeping tablets tonight as I have to wake up early and my sleep cycle is not quite where it needs to be.

    Tomorrow I plan on actually having no caffeine I should be able to achieve that with 8 hours plus sleep and only withdrawing from half a coffee a tea and a small amount of chocolate today.

    I have been working on a side project and once its done I will only be focused on working out and following through with my education/career path.

    Did nofap, had some caffeine and junk, been wiped out today due to sleeping pills.

    I set up my planning apparatus so I can plan out the stuff I am doing each day.

    Won't have sleeping pills again super easy for me to stop having them as only started like a week ago and I will run out.
     
  9. Its good that you are studying finance so later on you can have that "Fuck you money". Keep it up!

    I am 3 days deep, I have had minimal junk and caffeine.
    I hope to get some stuff done that I can talk about.

    4 days now this is usually where I fail so some interesting days ahead.

    I am happy with what I have achieved today.

    I want to finish my side project asap so I can focus on my education and career path.
    It love working on my side project so I should make finishing it like playing a a game I want to get through. My only issue is procrastination If I can sit down and work on it I should get it done soon.

    I am trying to work on my side project and I am so tired I think this is mostly from me constantly cutting down caffeine content. Today I had one quarter of a teaspoon of instant coffee with two mini kit Kats so I am very close to eliminating caffeine.

    One thing I've noticed is in every day life when I come across a picture of a sexy woman I don't give a shit. There is no sexual arousal at all on my end. I don't think I am in a flatline rather I am used to extreme porn and sexual fantasy and have been desensitized to regular stuff.

  13. Godspeed on the self improvement plan. You will die of aging assuming illness, accident, or malice doesn't get your first. Take that to the bank.

    Understood, I more so needed a title and in my life I thought this to be the most optimal career path I am going to be building a great social life whist working and I don't need to be a try hard but why not just pick the best career path even if I am going to put in mediocre effort.


    We will see no one knows the future, if I have a chance at living indefinitely I will aim for it. I have spent years in community's related to science and there is a serious effort to cure ageing check out this link. Fight Aging! – The science of rejuvenation biotechnology. Advocacy for longer, healthier lives.

    edit Btw my grammar has been bad as I am typing whist lying back down on my bed. I will try to remember to start typing at a desk with more thought next post onwards.

    I am very happy to be on day 5 of nofap, tonight I had a bit of caffeine and junk to work on my side project longer which was stupid logic and I have punished myself for doing that with a app called "Habitica" your life.

    speaking of Habitica it is part of my personal planning apparatus it is a app used to track habits, goals etc.


    I was scheduled to quit caffeine tomorrow and I will do so I cant use having extra caffeine tonight as a excuse for still having it tomorrow.

    day 5 is around the time I usually fail not using porn when not trying but still tracking days, so the next few days are the most important.

    I think I should fap when I am horney without porn as it is natural and it means I wont be horney for porn (just regular withdrawal cravings).

    I know others disagree however I am going to stick to the your brain on porn mantra that masturbation is ok and porn is bad.

  17. On matters of aging, illness, and death the future is always certain. While I have no doubt that the efforts of Dr. Grey and others will lead to greater longevity and quality of life, or that investments in biotech will likely pay considerable returns by centuries end, I'd wager quite a lot that aging and death will never be defeated by science. Not sure how we'd make that bet though.

    I have bet on it by deciding to take a education and career in investing at the age of 24. If I live indefinitely I will grow my wealth at a higher % indefinitely because I have trained my investing skills in a decently. If I don't see a ageing cure in my life time I will be spending years getting into a career path that's less enjoyable than other options and I wont get to enjoy my money at a young age.

    How does consciousness transport between neighboring time points? Are we really the same people we were a millisecond ago?

    It's 5:30 Pm and I haven't had caffeine yet so I think I have successfully weened off it.
    Of course I also have not looked at porn.
    Today my family got McDonald's for lunch and I had some, I think I need to ditch the no junkfood goal for now. A better goal would be a weight loss one which I would have to work out the details of.
