Today I did not track my screen time, and wasted lots of time on the computer. I will start my dopamine detox tomorrow again, and will only play computer games when an occasion is organised with my friends. I feel bad after two days of not sticking to my dopamine detox.

Todayās screen report :- 3 hours. Couldnāt keep up to yesterdayās target of :- āhalf of 5 hoursā
I need to increase my work time so that i handle my phone less.
But whenever i sit for studying, my phone comes infront of my eyes and most of the time i couldnāt resist the temptation of using the phone.
This was the main reason for starting this thread. I see people here using phone for just 1-2 hours total in the day. If they can, why canāt i. I will work hard.
Urge :- had an urge of re-installing the game which i played the most. If i installed it again. I will lose the purpose of the life.
I hope you all are also doing well with reducing your phone usage time.
Phone has changed into like an essential body part and our actual organs are getting deteriorated. We have to stop this.
Use your body more than your phone
First of all I know you can do it bro . Your name says it all . You are Strong will power . and I know that you can do it ā¦ Its Just A phone bro .
Its all matter of priorities ā¦
For study I install forest app give it all permission ā¦
Being honest with yourself Its the first priority ā¦
I always honest with myself ā¦ that When forest app is running I am not going to touch my phone ā¦ I keep telling that to myself ā¦
I know it seems silly but what I think WITHER the tree in forest app is just as like Wither a real tree .
So I donāt Want that guilt . So I study .
and also study challenges help me to increase study hours.
Till last week I am also one of the guy who loves to play Pubg a lot. At that time I can play pubg more than 8 hours in a go ā¦ I donāt know what to do ā¦ I tried everything to get rid of the game ā¦
I also tried uninstalling and then I donāt know why but I ended up installing that again ā¦
and Now My yesterday phone usage is 28 minutes . ā¦
Bro It all matters of priorities ā¦
If you think at present time playing game is much important for you or achieving your Goals ā¦ then you can start playing game ā¦ may be you end up being good gamer.
whats comes first in priority ā¦ GAME OR GOALS
Just analyze yourself what triggers you ā¦find cue ā¦ for me cue is getting the whatsapp message of friend to ask me pubg I never deny him ā¦ he ask me ā¦ I affirmative and then we start playing pubg for long hours ā¦
So what I did is CUT THE CUE ā¦ I block and ignore each and everyfriend that comes in the way of Goals that pubg friend too ā¦ I know its hard in starting but I know I can do that ā¦ and I have to do
I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE AND ALSO YOU HAVE TOO.
Your reason for Goals is need to be Stronger than reason to play game .
Its Just a habit ā¦ Find cue , triggers and reward ā¦
I cut cue ā¦ triggers is not that much important for me in front of my Goals and reward -
I finally free my self from that game and you can also .
IN THE END - I KNOW BRO YOU CAN DO IT .YOU HAVE TO DO IT

Thanks for the challenge. Its great because iām already on itā¦ I decided to quit every possible addictive internet usage including - all social media which goes without saying, Youtube, Netflix, Amazon prime, Anime and even stupid memesā¦ I have quit music tooā¦
The reason is that in todays hypersexualised world, They put sex and these filthy stuff in almost everything and it always got me triggered to pmoā¦ I have decided to abstain from all of these things completely and live a life where i dont have to be slave of āinstant gratificationā and derive pleasure from simple walks of life like reading a book, talking with friends and family, painting, and other hobbiesā¦ I have found sadly with trial and error that this is my only way to be free from not just pmo but all kinds of addictionsā¦
So i look forward to your challengeā¦ Lets break these chains

IMPORTANT NOTICE BEFORE CHALLENGE STARTS
Those who canāt update their scores daily, i request you all to write down your score somewhere so that when you get time, you can update the right score (this scoring is different, I canāt see your scores like the streak counter, thats why)
If a challenger does not update his score for 5 days, a WARNING MESSAGE will be sent on 6th day. The challenger should update the right scores that he has written down.
Be honest with yourself, if you havenāt written your score anywhere, then no need to update even after 6 days, get eliminated from the monthās challenge by your self. (Post a message mentioning it)
After the notice is sent, even then the challenger fails to update his score in next 24 hours, he will be eliminated on the 7th day (thats is after completing 24 hours after warning)

@strongwillpower Can you clarify how to add the hours for phone use for studies?
Suppose I have online classes on the phone?
If you are using your phone like, checking some info on google. Then you have to add that time in your days total.
Benefit of this:-
If you are studying from phone (online classes and from pdfs) and that time obviously will cross more than 30 mins, also it is a productive work. Then you donāt have to add that phone usage time.
(This online classes and studying from pdfs period will one day stop, so we will be back to books, so this rule will be necessary in the future)
