No more procrastination - Challenge

[waxen tinsel]

Feel free to join me in this challenge.

I'm currently struggling with procrastination, so I really wanna work on that for getting my full focus on studying. That's why I'm starting the anti-procrastination challenge. Let's set a clear goal which procrastination habit we want to get rid of and then start a streak.

My first goal is to stop scrolling. I realised that it's wasting a lot of time and energy I wanna rather use for studying. Means from now on: no scrolling on social media, no browsing through the internet, only if it is part of my studies. As soon as I scroll, I fail. For the beginning, I give myself a minute to stop in case I automatically started scrolling.

Let me know what you wanna be working on and then let's goo!

[foggy skiff]

How is it going?

[waxen tinsel]

haha not well, somehow "forgot" about this challenge😅 But I see this as a sign to finally start🔥 You wanna join this challenge?

(In case you're struggling with procrastination, which I doubt as I see you always working so hard. But at least maybe you can check on me to keep me accountable😅 )

[foggy skiff]

yes sure you can use forest or some kinda app for counting the hours (obviously without cheating) and upload it here everyday or once in few days showing the hours.
I'll do the same

and our competition would be not cheating ourselves and following religiously 🍀 💪

[waxen tinsel]

you mean hours studying?

[waxen tinsel]

We could also upload the hours of phone use

[waxen tinsel]

and which apps we used for how long

I feel like that's gonna be hard😂

and winner is the one who has less phone hours

[foggy skiff]

okay, even I was trying to reduce that for some time, seems like a good challenge
Let's go

This past week

[waxen tinsel]

You have to distract the discord time, bc that was when I was studying with you guys

This week was really bad 😓 it's usually a bit better

[foggy skiff]

still seems better than me ✨

[waxen tinsel]

hehe not really😅

but I think we're round about on a similar level regarding or phone use

[waxen tinsel]

that is very good for a challenge💪

so we're gonna start tomorrow, right?🔥

[foggy skiff]

yes, we can share every day or once every 3 days, since the whole week seems too long to forget the reason why we started

[chrome kraken]

heyy

i would like to join too

[waxen tinsel]

Nice💪 yes sure👍

[chrome kraken]

Have to decrese Instagram time 🫣

[waxen tinsel]

Let's gooo

[foggy skiff]

are we uploading everyday or few days?

[waxen tinsel]

Every day

Apparently I can only see a detailed report on the day itself and I forgot to screenshot yesterday. But that was my phone time💪

[foggy skiff]

Okay then I'll share them around 12 am then

[foggy skiff]

Somehow I cannot go much lower than 2 hrs (though today I had to use my phone for sometime), let's hope I get it in less than 2 hrs tomorrow 💪

[waxen tinsel]

I forgot again to screenshot on time, but I use also this app to track and lock my apps. It's just not been always accurate in the last time

My phone says 2h 8min usage

The 33mins notes app I used for study bc I was lazy and read the document on my bed on my phone haha

[waxen tinsel]

Good luck, I believe in you💪 Don't disappoint me tomorrow ☝️

@chrome kraken do you wanna post your time as well?😊

[waxen tinsel]

Let's both get under 2h tomorrow🔥

[chrome kraken]

I forgot to send!🫣

[chrome kraken]

There was ipl final so... 🫣

I will send today's by late night

[waxen tinsel]

Amazing work my friends💪

[foggy skiff]

yay now just have to continue this streak

[foggy skiff]

a rollercoaster week

[waxen tinsel]

Tomorrow it's gonna be under 2h again💪

[foggy skiff]

yes no more dates planned so most probably it'll be less than 2 hrs from now on (i hope ) 💪 🫡

[waxen tinsel]

Would have been a great day if I hadn't spent time on instagram😅

Also, we had guests today so I didn't really have time to be on my phone

[waxen tinsel]

So not a big accomplishment😂

[foggy skiff]

Is this practically possible without cheating or just switching off the phone

though i guess if i remove my forest time then it's possible and forest means studying only so i guess we got a new target 💪

[waxen tinsel]

@empty oak @safe remnant

[safe remnant]

I have Vert similar screen time, except my 1-2 hours go in reading manwhas

guess i need to stop

[safe remnant]

Yep

[safe remnant]

lets do it everyday at the end of the day?

last week's...

the other ones that crossed 4h was during exams.. and i watched a lot of lectures on youtube and opened a lot of pdfs from telegram

[foggy skiff]

yes that's when we upload this around 12 am of our respective timezones

[waxen tinsel]

Substract the 2h discord time, add 50 mins iPad time

I locked instagram on my phone today, that was a good idea

[foggy skiff]

Delete instagram unless you are like very regular on it
that way the whole entering password and username through browser is a bit inconvenient leading to less number of times you'll open it

[foggy skiff]

that way even I would like to subtract my forest time

[safe remnant]

Also the interface is very bad so you are more likely to quite instgram on oc rather than phone

[safe remnant]

Subtract that telegram and gmail time as i was on a study callz in both of them

[waxen tinsel]

I used the phone for studying on the train today, so substract maybe about 1h. But still not a good day today. Tomorrow comeback🔥

[waxen tinsel]

Really need to become more disciplined again

[safe remnant]

Both are different?

[waxen tinsel]

What?

[safe remnant]

the one that says 1h 32 min and the one above that?

or are they different devices

[waxen tinsel]

Oh it's just the categories which kinds of apps I used. 1h 32 is for social media. I had 2h total screen time

[safe remnant]

i meant this

[safe remnant]

and this

OHH nvm both are different days lmao i didnt see that

[waxen tinsel]

Where is your report from yesterday?

[foggy skiff]

After 2 days of fever as an excuse finally somewhere closer to the streak

[waxen tinsel]

Hope you’re feeling better now🤗

Thanks, I have seen a video about that a while ago and it sounds really good. But for me it‘s really hard to create the atmosphere for dopamine detox, it‘s hard to eliminate all the distractions…. Maybe you have advice how you‘re doing it?

[foggy skiff]

Bad, very bad

[safe remnant]

I slept at 4pm yesterday and woke up a few hours ago, anyway heres my report for yesterday

[safe remnant]

Exam time so uh

I missed june 11?

[safe remnant]

I think i forgot, let me just put it here

Day before yesterday was bad

Yesterday was good

[safe remnant]

Yesterday was so bad lmao

[chrome kraken]

heyy i am back

past week was really bad as i was staying with my relative in hospital

hopefully he'll get discharge today. i will start to update you guyss from today

[waxen tinsel]

This weekend really didn't go well. But tomorrow's starting a new week, so a new week to achieve the goal of under 2h💪

[chrome kraken]

Was studying on yt and WhatsApp through a call so subtract that part

[deep thicket]

need to get my screentime down

[chrome kraken]

Need to work on this! What's say?

[waxen tinsel]

Looks already better then yesterday💪 Try to stay under 3h tomorrow as well🔥

[chrome kraken]

Yess will try that

[safe remnant]

I forgot to post

[foggy skiff]

Another bad day

[waxen tinsel]

💪💪

It really works wonders when I block instagram

[chrome kraken]

Today was baad!!😑

[chrome kraken]

Yesterday

[vast parcel]

Just 2 hours 😯, thats a great achievement , Cutting youtube alone might help to cut down more

[chrome kraken]

Yeahh i was watching podcast while eating so

[vast parcel]

Thats great 👍 I have disabled it from my phone , But i do watch youtube in TV while eating.

[chrome kraken]

I have deleted Snapchat insta Netflix every single app
I onlu use YouTube and Pinterest sometimes

[vast parcel]

Keep it up 👍 What are you aiming for ?

Thats a tough nut to crack 😯 Good luck Keep studying 😊

[foggy skiff]

I'm vacationing so no holds are barred for my digital timers for a few days 🤭

[safe remnant]

I legit scrolled shorts for like 15 minutes got insanely bored and questioned my existence yesterday

[chrome kraken]

Yesss did it!!🔥🔥

[waxen tinsel]

Well done🥳🙌💪 Now keep going🔥

[waxen tinsel]

Not a good day

[safe remnant]

All exams finished for me as of today

So no tracking for the nezt 3 weeks ig?

[chrome kraken]

Worst!!😑

[foggy skiff]

I'm back ✨

[waxen tinsel]

💪

[safe remnant]

Yesterday's

[lime plover]

Hello can I join

??

[gaunt ferry]

I just hope that this chunk of text could possibly help out hopefully 😂

[foggy skiff]

sorry to say but if you couldn't do the study part then what's the point of not doing rest, just building body? 🤡

I mean all your tips were about exercise and cold dip and again exercise

agreed meditation for mental health

[gaunt ferry]

It’s to keep you busy so you don’t go back so scrolling TikTok ore watching pointless stuff online. As I said am a log, so all I can do is give my own experience with everything I have done so far. If she can extract something form that, then am glad. I do see improvements in my own ability. And I don’t have cravings for games phones ore other stuff. I just work, would that be labor ore other things

[waxen tinsel]

⬆️yesterday

⬆️ Today

[waxen tinsel]

Yes sure 🙂 sorry somehow didn't read your message

Thank you for the explanation 👍🙂

[lime plover]

No worries

[lime plover]

You guys are way better than me

[waxen tinsel]

Gives a lot of room to improve :)🍀

Wasted some time with yt this morning :/

@foggy skiff @safe remnant

[foggy skiff]

I was not uploading, hoping that next day would be better

[waxen tinsel]

That's cheating, you need to be honest and post also when you fail 🙂

I had a phone call with my parents for important organisational stuff, so some necessary phone time, that's the whatsapp time

But still wasted wayy to much time today😢

[waxen tinsel]

Very good day💪

[waxen tinsel]

They last days have not been good and also i haven't been posting. I'm coming back to daily posting now

Yesterday's report

Today finally having a comeback and a very productive day💪🔥

[foggy skiff]

My phone alarm takes this much screen time in a day 🤡

[foggy skiff]

Rollercoaster week

[waxen tinsel]

Really really bad today

[foggy skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-horray-finally-about-time-gif-5909754397376002885

[waxen tinsel]

Well donnneee

[waxen tinsel]

Had my phone turned off almost the whole day, that worked really well😏💪

[waxen tinsel]

well done!!🙌

[foggy skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-wanna-play-this-game-supervisory-special-agent-scott-forrester-fbi-international-im-not-a-fan-of-this-game-im-not-fooling-around-gif-26204003

[waxen tinsel]

Substract the discord time, that was studying 😏

Some days it works really well not using the phone, then on other days I use it 2-3h. Always a rollercoaster😅

[foggy skiff]

Torsades de pointes

[waxen tinsel]

At least you reduced your alarm time 😉

[foggy skiff]

Yes I removed my alarms altogether

Only a biological clock to wake me up now 💤

[waxen tinsel]

Update

[waxen tinsel]

Working better?

[waxen tinsel]

I mean do you get up quicklier with this?

[foggy skiff]

I wake up at 6-7 hrs time on my own
And I've noticed a pattern that when I sleep at around 3 am I get more deep sleep than compared to if I sleep earlier so lesser time needed for more quality sleep 😴

[foggy skiff]

No that is nearly fixed I think to that 6-7 hrs limit

If I sleep late I wake up late

Which was the same whether I keep the alarm or not

[waxen tinsel]

That's sounds good👍 😄

I think it's best to listen to your individual sleeping schedule

Better than to force ourselves waking up at this that's unnatural for our body

[foggy skiff]

Only the rest of the world doesn't keep the schedule for exams and work according to my late night schedule

[waxen tinsel]

You're lucky you're not living in Germany😂 I feel like here the schedule is much earlier than in every other country😅

[foggy skiff]

I've to go for my exams at 6 am
Earlier than this?

[waxen tinsel]

Ok that's really early😵

No luckily not

So they start at 6?

[foggy skiff]

No they start late but still they call us earlier because of security reasons and also there's traffic and stuff to reach the center

[waxen tinsel]

Do you already know how to deal with this? Bc that'll be you're prime sleeping time😅

[foggy skiff]

Yes this week I'll start shifting that time

[waxen tinsel]

Ah ok

[foggy skiff]

Because adrenaline mostly sleep doesn't affect the exam

[waxen tinsel]

That's true

How long will the exam be

[foggy skiff]

This week it's going to be 4 hrs but in 2 parts so starting 9am to 4pm

[waxen tinsel]

Good luck!🍀

So I'm not gonna keep us awake for longer now and mess up our sleeping schedules 😄 Good night!

See you tomorrow 💪

[foggy skiff]

Goodnight 😴

[foggy skiff]

Again my alarm took 23 mins of my phone time 🤡

[waxen tinsel]

Not good today

[waxen tinsel]

Wow you beat me by far💪

Well done🔥

[foggy skiff]

yes as the exam day gets closer this will reduce more

[foggy skiff]

Same same

[waxen tinsel]

Haha exactly the same time😂

I guess no one wins today😂

Or both win💪

[foggy skiff]

both loose

[waxen tinsel]

Pessimistic😂

[waxen tinsel]

I wanted to see the glass half full haha

[foggy skiff]

Your half full has so much ig, whatsapp and yt time

[waxen tinsel]

You're right

It's not good

Ok tomorrow I'll improve

[foggy skiff]

yes 💪

[safe remnant]

I totally forgot about this, i am gonna restart this challenge from today

[tribal harness]

wow u r getting better everyday

only 31 mins dang

[tribal harness]

just look at this

[waxen tinsel]

Thank you😊

I let my phone turned off almost the whole day recently, that helps a lot!

[tribal harness]

@waxen tinsel can i participate in this challenge?

[tribal harness]

but i'm using pc and i don't find any app to track =(((((((

[waxen tinsel]

Sure

[waxen tinsel]

There‘s probably something to track on with sites you‘ ve been for how long. Keep looking, good luck!🍀

[vapid lantern]

how to join this challenge

[safe remnant]

Damn it increased a ton aftwr vacation, 6 hrs huh

7+ hrs, what

[waxen tinsel]

Good thing to start improving💪

As soon as study hours decrease, phone time increases😓

[waxen tinsel]

We post screenshot of our phone time every day and try to reduce it as much as possible

[foggy skiff]

Yes close to my time. Not good 🫡 💪

[safe remnant]

My other phone had been reduced down to only essentials, so i aint adding it in

[waxen tinsel]

You have 2 phones?

[safe remnant]

yes

[waxen tinsel]

Whyyy

[safe remnant]

so initially the phone i was using stopped working, after i got it repaired, it was too much of a hassle to switch everything, so i keep 2 phones, 1 strictly work related, and the other was random work

[waxen tinsel]

Today better again (subtract the discord time as I used it for camera for studying)

[safe remnant]

Kinda bad huh, though i only play genshin during travel time

[waxen tinsel]

You can also try to not use reddit for a day

[waxen tinsel]

Discord time = study time. But still almost two hours😅 (but also some time for organisational stuff like train booking and so on)

[waxen tinsel]

I'm really failing this rn

[woven pecan]

[iron sundial]
