I had many resets and I lost the counting. Recently every reset was because I was on this forum in the nights ... shows me how good it would be to get some distance - without hurting my recovery process of course. It was good I did this Challenge for a while. Now the 9:30 pm sleeping time has become a rule to me. I leave now. Much success to everyone else here! See ya! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
5/14 I've noticed that it's hard for my sleeping rhythm to change naturally. Therefore, I've been trying to set a bit earlier alarm. But today I slept for three extra hours!
Slight change to my rules: No Screens Challenge No screens A. after 6 p.m. or unless: it's to meet a next-day deadline that was set by someone else or that I set before 6 p.m., it's for a legitimate, in-person social purpose, such as watching a show or movie that my friend or wife suggested we watch, it's video chatting with a close friend or relative, it's looking up directions in Google Maps, it's using Instacart to order groceries or track a grocery delivery, or it’s looking at a “challenge” or “Time Block” Google Doc. If I use a screen after 6 p.m. for any of the above purposes, then I can use screens only to advance these purposes. I may not open tabs, windows, or apps that do not contribute to the purpose for which I'm using the screen. For example, if I'm working to meet a deadline, every tab, window, or app I open must help me meet this deadline. And no screens B. after 4:30 a.m. until I'm fully dressed and prepared to leave the house with my daughter unless: I'm not taking my daughter on our morning jaunt that day, It's to check the weather, It's to check whether something's open, It's to check a "challenge" or "Time block" Google Doc, It's an emergency, or It's to check Google Maps. If I use a screen after 4:30 a.m. for any of the above purposes, then I can use screens only to advance these purposes. I may not open tabs, windows, or apps that do not contribute to the purpose for which I'm using the screen.
0/30, bummer. I’ve been working too late in the evenings and my head has had a hard time stop thinking. I’ve just decided to do a mental detox. I have realised I have way too many things around me that waits for me to work on them, which essentially leads me to work a little bit on every piece, which in turn leads me to not get anywhere, since I’m not focused enough on the same thing. I need to think about what my life goals are and reduce the number of potential distractions. After this mental detox, what I want to achieve is to have a small set of projects I can work on, which all share a common theme.
Really interesting! Good luck! As I read this, I realized I'm dealing with a similar problem. Lately, I've tried "smart goals" and used those to "time-box." I haven't been doing this for long but so far it's seemed helpful. 4/30
I noticed that progressivly i'm more interested in creating rather then consuming things/content, i used to be able to watch videos and anime series for hours,but now i cannot do 15 minutes - before something inside me tells me ... "Hey we are wasting time here, we are not producing anything!" 13/30
