Yesterday was officially over 3 hours.

Today over 2 hours but even this is less than I usually do and I am struggling with 2 things.

1. What do i do with my free time?

2. Uncertain on how to handle the dopamine cravings and P cravings.

[lets_begin]

Spent over 2hrs scrolling bad stuff - but have the rest of the day to make up for it

[lets_begin]

1. There are many things, but only you can be interested in them. I can’t advise you to do what I do because you may not have the same interest.

2. Having other interests give us other sources of dopamine.

Personally I went through a fragrance phase. I’d always liked particular scents, colognes my dad wore, places, soaps.
I was interested in aromatherapy to help with anxiety, bought oils, then started watching YouTube videos about fragrance. Bought small samples, looked for cheapies, old school scents - nostalgia. Found a fragrance archive site, and so on.
I got kind of wrapped up in it for a while, and still am to some extent - though I don’t watch many fragcom vids anymore.

I really love a good scent. It really perks me up and gets me motivated. I could give you an awesome list.

WhatsApp - chat with my LDR this morning / after work - (and again just now)

Rewire

Text message - with clients

Chrome - checked news headlines, and useless things like Archeology / Pop Psychology / dogs

Android - unsure what it was

[DARSHAN2017]

Yesterday i had around 6 hour 20 mins unproductive approx
Excluding - 15 mins of rewire app (i used more than 1 hour of this app but i cosider 15 mins to be productive at max)

Today’s target to keep it lower than 5 and half

[lets_begin]

I had a busy work day - I’m self employed so some mornings I do/can wake up later than someone working 9-5, or studying. Luckily, when I’m working I don’t have free time for my phone.

I usually chat for a few mins in the morning with my LDR, again after work and/or in the evening like tonight.

[DARSHAN2017]

Yesterday it got to 7 hours…
And i relapsed too
Will try today to reduce

[lets_begin]

Foolish me. I looked at things I shouldn’t have this morning. It starts with one thing - a friend suggestion on FB, then leads to another, and then another.

Seeing a website appear in “Stay Free” and not wanting to share from embarrassment and trigger reasons, I used other phone app/features just for the site descend down the list, which lead to me scrolling and inappropriate things on YouTube.

What a mess I get myself into. I have to laugh at myself and admit I’m weak, but God is my Home, I depend on His Ultimate Grace and Mercy each day Only He fully knows my heart.

I since blocked websites and limited Chrome to 30mins,
And will keep moving forward without looking back.

I also really like this feature
