Digital detox - the path i choose

This is a challenge for myself
Starting today
Ill make sure to stay away from screen as much as possible other than work

  1. Stock market (won’t install the demat app also)
  2. No youtube
  3. No manga
  4. No anime
  5. No sexting with gf
  6. No gaming
    Inshort ntg related to internet other than work

Only will be using phone for work
Thats all
I need to improve now
No more delaying…
Thats all

Day 1 of digital detox other than rewire app and that too in the evening
It was a great day
Instead of binge watching youtube shorts while travelling in bus
I got good sleep for 1 hour after which i felt refreshed
I was more focused on what i was doing
And my brain wasny cloudy towards understanding the work related stuffs like it happens everyday
I mean to say i could understand the work given and if i would have forgotten anything
I could still think clearly and try to remember that unlike other days
I was less tired and energetic untill now
I studied with much better concentration
On my way back home had urges to open chrome many times
But i controlled myself and came to post motivational stuff on the avatar challenge and that made me not to think about anything other than self improvement
Now going to sleep
Bye

  1. Last night i opened youtube and reddit on my laptop
    And im telling u truthfully
    I watched nothing other than CA Final demo lectures and was checking review of teachers for the subject on reddit
    Duration (15 mins)
    This 15 mins didnt include in my studies
  2. Enabled chrome on my phone just to research on an ipo which my client has asked (I have been giving stock tips for free for more than 6 months and now one of my friend has become my first client based on commission , so he needed some insights on it so enabled)

I can tell proudly
I didnt check anything else other than these two and now off to sleep

Are u going to write final exams on dec

See in commerece people do two things

  1. degree based studies
    Bcom, BBA, etc
    And higher studies like mba mcom
  2. Professional courses
    Like ca, cs, cma, acca, cpa, etc
    Both are different

While just under graduate degree wont be sufficient to get a good paying job
And by thay i mean atleast 50k per month

So people either go for post graduation (mostly in mba ) or professional courses

Again having a hugh paying job is possible in most cases when u do mba from iims or top business schools which will cost more than 15lac (minimum amount if u arr lucky)
If u are from minority (sc/st)
U have a greater chance as the cut off for iim is lesser (99 percentile incase of iim)(and its not percentage but percentile)
Only then u can expect good packages post qualification

While professional courses are time consuming (4 to 5 years ) along with bcom if u start then same duration as mba
The investment if u take coaching for all level including exam fees and all will max be 3 lac

Roi isnt as high as iim
But if u are a first attempt pass out (atleast in CA)
and have done articleship(internship) from good place then expect atleast 7 lac per annum package (as per the campus placements of may 2024)
And if u manage to get rank then starting package from 10 lac and the highest till date was 36 lac (investment banking)
Again not everyone can get into investment banking as they prefer mostly iim graduates
And sometimes ca rankers too
This was regarding ca
The fees vary from course to course based on nationality
Like cpa belongs to us
Hence the fees will be in dollars
Around 60 to 80 k for registration(where as ca has registration fees of 9k+18k +22k for all three levels(approx)

Ill tell u one thing
Doing ca
U will have no social life other than the articleship period
Which im enjoying

This is just a short over view of what i know
Speak to people around u and then decide
All the best

My final is in may 2027

Why? 3 years gap
Jutfuooo

Compulsory articleship (internship) of 2 years
Then compulsory study period of 6 months post articleship
But since after those 6 months the next attempt will only be in may 27 (3 extra months )
Hence need to wait

Articleship is paid ( but we are paid minimum labour wage :sob: - #only enough to pay for classes)
But its important so that we learn how things are done practically instead of just theoretical knowledge

Today was a day full of urges
I sold my holding and withdrew funds from stock market so that i dont get tempted to do stocks
( my portfolio was barely 5k)

Temptation 1 : games
I swear i realise now how well designed the modern games are.
Its as if the make us feel that we are missing out on so much action, strategy, and what not
It makes me feel like i losing out on somethjng fun in life and all
When i see almost everyone playing game
I get tempted a lot
But i controlled my feelings

Temptation 2 : manga
Suddenly i got a thought of the manga that i was reading weekly basis and the curiosity of new chapter emerged
I controlled myself
Locked the phone and kept in my bad
Simple
And said no because im not losing this time

Temptation 3 : youtube
Not major but slightly
Which was manageable

I felt i wasusing way too much rewire app today morning
So after posting the stuffs
I deleted the app until installing now

Productivity : i was same like before yesterday
Not that energetic unlike yesterdsymay be because of less sleep last night

I still couldnt think clearly
I feel at all times that my mind if filled and there is no space to let anything in
Is this brain fog?
Now that i realised this
I feel
For last 3 years
I have always been feeling like my mind is full and i cant let any stuff go in

Emotion:
Did i face irritation or anger (withdrawal symptoms)of not mindlessly scrolling -not yet
But i know they will hit me with strong force
Ill just have to stay stronger

The reason for me to grow strong is

  1. **** this is private
  2. To set an example for everyone that things can be improved

Day 3 of digital detox
Last night while having dinner got trmpted to read manga or watch tarak mehta on phone
I controlled my feelings again and then scrolled through this forum for 5 mins something
Then focused on eating

Today morning
While having breakfast i had urge to watch tarak mehta again but controlled
These days no urges related to pmo
But i had thoughts for around 30 seconds regarding p* type thing
I hust brushed it off telling
Control majnu control
U need 1 year to fully rewire
So u cant afford any of these thoughts
And then startrd talking about stock market with siblings and then irritating people at home
And yes
I actually slept best compared to many days where even if i slept more i would feel tired
I hust felt relaxed
Nobidea about the reason
A part of me is telling because of less dopamine induced content
But its just been 2 days, so how can i expect instant results
Thats all
