Journaling about the days.

March 28, 2022

Hello, this challenge sucks. Today I failed massively, starting the day with my phone in the face as soon as I opened my eyes. Approximately looking at the iPhone 30 times.

March 29, 2022

Once again, I am fed up with this challenge, but I said I would do it for 60 days. Now I have to crawl the talk. I was visiting relatives, and somehow it is very difficult to follow through with this challenge in a different environment.

The last thing I want to do is to write about this challenge, but that is the point of a challenge you have to do it even if you don’t want to. Today once again I stood up and took up the phone that accompanied me the whole day. I am back home today, I think in this environment I will be more likely to follow through with my plan. Thanks for reading O.K. thank you bye.

I am back with a smack. Today I finished strong, the mission was accomplished.

You want to here a April joke? Me trying to keep up with a challenge. I think it was half done today.

April 2, 2022

The force of the algorithms got me again, I was scrolling like a madman.

April 3, 2022

Getting better again. Today I finished strong. I noticed some patterns which I have to look for. When I start scrolling early in the day, it is very likely I will give in later on. I need some things that I can fill my free-time with that are a mix of fun and productive. Something like cleaning the kitchen. I have a huge to-do list piled up for building stuff for the flat. Maybe that is a good use of time. I can feel it a huge day is coming up tomorrow.

April 4, 2022

This day I was focused and almost did it with the challenge. All in all a good day.

April 5, 2022

Time goes faster than I can keep up with this challenge. Most days I fail and look at my phone right in the morning. It is to enticing to look at the stocks and crypto prices. Do I need to see them this often? I do not think so.

April 6, 2022

This is going sideways at best. I am not even trying very hard.
