Disobeying my own schedules and reminders is one of things that I disrespect my self the most for, but I just can’t really figure out how to make my self obey the reminders.
I wish I was one of these people that have a relation to their reminders like the reminder is some military sergeant and you do what it says, without resisting the authority.
You mean like a transitioning ritual? If the transitional ritual is
I am not so much into programming, but what extra skill is required to add a license and make the repo public? Maybe if you have a closed source dependency and would need to replace it, then it would be a skill issue.
Thank you for replying
“When I realise that I should stop, instead set a 5 or 10 minute timer and stop when it goes off.” The problem is that I press the snooze again and again, sometimes for over an hour.
“Start an inner dialogue, e. g. like: “What do I gain from this? Why am I doing this?” Don’t consider it implicit pressure to stop, just an open, honest dialogue. The goal is not to stop right away, but to keep learning about yourself for a couple of weeks while you still do it. But for some people, they feel caught by themselves in the action and might stop right away; that is also okay.” I think this would work, but you do I get my self to start the dialogue in this moments? These situation that I don’t stop, mostly happens when I do something I find very interesting or I will like its very important.
“Make a deal with yourself to do something productive, and then continue the thing guilt-free. That feels much sweeter! The productive thing can be as little as to write a list, or to think about the tasks on the existing list and what it would feel like to do them.” Most of the times where I should stop but don’t, are when the next thing I need to do, is something that takes more then 60 minutes until its finished, so I can’t say to my self to just do it 5 minutes.
“Technical solution, such as Leechblock NG browser plugin to limit usage of some websites. Could have a time limit, or time of day limit, and can do a hard block or “soft” block by going black/white.” Yes, since the wifi block works great (if I remember to put out the SIM) I maybe should expand technical solutions to cover more.
Are there any relevant/common reason to keep an app closed source if its NOT for profit?
I need this. Can you provide a link (if links are allowed?) or the name of the product? I would be very grateful
I wish I could get my self on a consistent bedtime
I can’t provide any good tips on how to get out of bed better, because I too struggle with this.
But I have some tips on getting awake in the morning after getting out of bed:
I learned these tips from an Andrew Huberman podcast (not sure if I can post links here, so I don’t)
I would hide the meds and take them when she is not around

“I also used cigarettes to ‘mark’ the transition between activities. They help, and also are rotten bad for your health, expensive, and stink like hell.” Do you think something more healthy, could also work? But it most be limited in time so it doesn’t become the next activity I can’t stop.
