    So, let me recount my day. I woke up at 8 am. Then, for 2 hours I did meditation and got ready for office. After reaching office I worked on my case. Later in the day I wasted quite a bit of time in office due to the environment being such where people indulge in gossipmongering rather than working diligently.
    Also, I am myself confused right now of what I need to do. Coming back from office I went with my friend to a eating outery and enjoyed myself.

    Today again I didn't do gym.

    I had a really enjoyable day. I woke up at 9 am. Then I did meditation and got ready for office. In office I completed one file and discussed some legal points.
    I came back and tried to study but couldn't due to losing the habit of continuous study. The unintentional ultimate procrastination week I had in between really puts my progress towards my goal at a backfoot. Then, I have to restart my journey from backward position.
    But right now mentally I am in good space.

    Hoping my progress towards my goal continues.

    Today , it was Sunday. I started my day with yoga but didn't finish it as I was feeling very sleepy. So, I slept for 2 hours till 1pm. Actually, I had woken up at around 4 am. First, I tried to study but then I passed my times jjust thinking about my plans for next. I have an exam next weekend for which I haven't studied at all. Initially I didn't plan to go but at the last moment I decided against missing out on the opportunity. Then again last time also I had gone without preparation. But no worries at least I would come to know whether I am able to write properly or not.
    I have writer's cramp so that is also a big issue. But lets forget for one bit what may happen this week and concentrate on today.

    Todo list
    Gym - Done
    Meditation- Partly done
    Study- tried to but couldn't as I am not able to build the momentum.

    I am really getting a little bit stressed for next week. On one hand I haven't studied but still I am going. And on the other hand I could studied for the next exam which I might not be able to now. And also I have started practicing as well so that is also another problem.

    Hoping everything is sorted out by me well this week!
    Cheers!

    Today, I had a really productive day. Although, I got up late having slept till 10 am. I had planned to get up at 8 am instead. But then despite the regret I picked myself up and did meditation. Then in office I did my work and also studied. After coming back from office I studied in the library till 3 am (4 hours effectively).

    To do list
    Gym - Not done. Didn't get time and also put on hold till next week.
    Meditation- Done and that too for one hour.
    No pmo- Done
    I am not concentrating on Mo part of PMO goal that much. My main purpose to ne onthis forum is to Improve my lifestyle and try to become better version of myself. I am masturbating once in two days.

    Had a okay day today. Completed my meditation in the morning. Then in office I studied for some time but not that effectively as I wanted.

    In evening I came back from office and studied in the library. I feel fatigued most of the day even though I am sleep for 6-7 hours, follow a healthy and nutritious diet and try to exercise as well.
    I want my day to be more productive than it is right now. Also, I need to be more energetic and active. This can be done by tackling my long-standing problem of severe procrastination. But still I am not able to get over it completely . If I get stuck in a situation where I have procrastinated some work then I make it tough for myself and start procrastinating more and eventually get addicted to net. But this situation has not come up for last

    Came back after having spent 4 days in Jabalpur. My exams went better than my expectations given the fact that I had not studied. But still I lack very much in essay writing and answer writing. Also, I have still not learnt the important provisions of the bare acts by heart even though I had realized it long back.
    Now, I have geared up again to work very hard and study diligently for the coming exams.

    Today, I studied for around 6 hours efficiently. I had a satisfactorily productive day.
    I need to buck up and kick myself on the back. It is going to need consistency , dedication and perseverance. I have to get going and work towards devilling discipline and regularity in my schedule. Hope I do not falter this time and avoid the mistakes that I had committed many times previously.

    Cheers!

    I need to get tougher mentally. Loneliness is my biggest trigger. I need to remain happy. Find happiness in things that matter. I cannot be stuck on the fact that I don't have a girlfriend and will never have one. I am a virgin at 27. This facts haunts me whole day.
    But I need to get this shit out of my mind and study on my exams and improving myself.

    My biggest trigger is not having a gf and being a virgin. Whole day i fantasize about girls. This also impedes my performance during the day at work and studies. IAM not able to focus due to this reason.

    Only because I plan my day to start with meditation and gym and then if I procrastinate and don't do this things then the whole day I just like on my bed doing nothing and start watching movies and TV shows.

    After I go to gym , suddenly I realize my Dolly and feel the burst of energy as if I would achieve everything on my to do list. But this has happened umpteenth times and now it is frustrating.

    I want to be a better person. I mean a more successful person. In addition I want to be more considerate in other people. The people who are close to me. Sometimes I give them the cold sholder and I don't like myself after I am doing it.

    Last three years I have doing same thing repeatedly. I will waste my time for one day..then keep wasting it for week then eventually get more depressed and hopeless from myself.

    Then because of my bad habits I lose my confidence in myself. Whether I can achieve anything ever. I start to feel as a failure.

    I work hard but only for one week then I get depressed because I don't have a girlfriend and friends. That is where the depressing cycle triggers for me.

    In this cycle I won't do anythingn I would like oon bed and binge watch TV shows, YouTube, and porn. Anything that I can use to escape from self imposed stress.

    I want someone who can discipline me and mould me into inculcating good habits like a coach.
    Sometimes I feel a girlfriend would have helped ward off loneliness which is my biggest trigger for depression. But not having is something I have to accept and move on. But that is the biggest challenge. As wherever I go I feel so upset about my life seeing everyone enjoying with their lives ones. Even watching TV shows and movies just adds on to that viewpoint of mine.

    Hi, there! I was looking through your thread in a general way and felt that you appear to be a very anxious and perfectionist person. I have had some traces of this personalities characters for many time and slowly have been improving in this area of my life. Maybe you have mental standards about what a productive and "useful" life should be and this keeps you from enjoying what life really is, the way it is. Just for curiosity, how old are you and what kind of exams do you need to pass? Keep up the fight and amazing fruits will come! All the best, friend!

    I am 27 years old. I am preparing for judicial services. Earlier I was preparing for civil services. These are really tough exams which require constant hardwork and dedication. More than anything consistent study for 8-10 hours everyday for 1-2 years is required.
    But mentally I am not in the right space to study consistently for such long periods as after one or two weeks I get depressed. The main trigger is not having a girlfriend.
    Then I get into a binge cycle of tv shows, movies , YouTube to escape from this. Or sometimes I procrastinate and then I get into this binge cycle and self destructive lifestyle.

    That looks like an overwhelming effort to make! It would require extraordinary focus and determination to keep such schedule of daily studies. Maybe you could afford less hours of study per day, but with intense and exclusive dedication (have you heard about study techniques such as Pomodoro?). I would highly recommend you take a look on "The Slight Edge" book, which deals exactly with this kind of difficulties in getting things done and have successful prospects.

    I can relate totally with this. It's the addiction cycle stepping in, again and again. For me, the trigger involves consume of alcohol and feelings of frustration. Today I relapse again, even with all the effort to understand the long term benefits of abstaining from PMO. On the other side, I know I can beat this negative cycle and build a healthy lifestyle. I already have had a streak of 300+ days, but somehow felt the "danger" was gone and let myself off guard for too long. Then, the old patterns of pleasure seeking and escape from reality came back with total force. Once you begin to built momentum, whether upward or downward, the process gains energy and reinforces itself. The firsts steps and a sense of perseverance are vital and the hardest to construct, to turn the direction of the movement. The work is made by small steps and on a daily base, with constancy and perseverance. All the best, friend!

    I
    Have tried pomodoro techniques many times but it didn't turn out to be beneficial for me. I get too stressed during that 25 minutes time with my focus on time getting completed rather than focussing on the study material. But long hours studying is not that big a problem for me as I have been doing that for last 2 years. I go to a library where I am able to study for 8-10 hours. It's just that I get stressed and depressed after one or two weeks and then get into that binge cycle.
    I have resumed studying again and trying to follow the schedule. Hope to continue doing the good stuff for longer time period this time.

    I'm going to give something like that ago but i will allow myself 1 hour free time a day so that its not to stressful, its all about balance, as long as you can manage it right I'm sure you will be able to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
