    Things that helped;

    • Blocking Lemmy and Reddit on my phone, and limiting time browsing the News
    • Delete social media apps from the phone
    • Switching from diet sodas to just cold water
    • Reducing coffee from 4 a day to 0-1 a day
    • Get diagnosed for ADHD and get on Vyvanse
    • Eat high fibre, starting the day with oats/fibre
    • Meditating
    • Journaling, with weekly review of how I progressed towards my goals
    • Cutting back on smoking weed to once every other month

    What I’m still working on;

    • Cut down on time browsing porn. I’ll probably binge porn for an afternoon once a week or two. Still too much.
    • Consistency in the gym. I’ve had a lot of life altering events happen recently, so I’m trying to get back on the ball.
    • Just vegging out on the computer while at home. I should be doing things like writing, reading, or exercise. But instead I sit here and type out long comments while my meds kick in. :)

      The more I read, the more this sounds like toxic productivity. It’s okay to have downtime. It’s okay to just relax. It’s okay to have hobbies that aren’t entirely focused on health or mental wellbeing. It’s okay to occasionally indulge hedonic tendencies like porn. Hell, most doctors say that jorkin it a few times a week helps keep things healthy.

      Maintaining this kind of lifestyle will likely result in burnout sooner or later.

        It’s okay to work on yourself too. Nothing toxic about anything they said. Stop trying to discourage people from working on themselves.
