    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. :)

        I’m not trying to give up as well, just want to reduce it. I did try a four week break from it (made it to 2 weeks) and it did reduce the amount of time I spent on it from that point forward. So I might have to do another one of those.
