I don’t know what question should I ask but How to actually live? There are so many distractions on my path, on the left side there is a phone with access to thousands of naked women, in front of me a computer with lots of games and movies, on the right side there is also a phone with a lot of content which is increases dopamine such as TIKTOK, INSTAGRAM, and on the back there is MOM which is telling me what should I do and what I shouldn’t doesn’t support any of my decisions…
Don’t know if it’ll help, but I turned off wi-fi for a while and that changed my habits a bit. I was able to finish a programming project (sweeper clone). If I ever used the internet, it was on my phone (browser mostly for questions, not logged into anything, overall less comfortable without a keyboard for me) and even then I turned the wifi back off shortly after.
I still played games etc. that I already had downloaded, but it’s a lot more limited with choice and I also deleted quite a bit of stuff that I didn’t care about (weighed against how much data it took up). So even that was not so bad.
I also hooked up the old PS3 and replayed some games, which made more sense with limited options.
Finishing the project sort of ended that though, was hoping to get answers to questions and did not. That and dislike the GH co-pilot situation so I haven’t even shared my sweeper project, so kinda killed my motivation’s momentum.
Going by my post history here, it was ~2.5 months for me.
