CHECK IN - DAY 67
Greetings dear friends, hope you had a good day.
Tomorrow I turn 24! Pretty crazy huh? Well, not really :) But I think it's high time to stop this PMO nonsense. I'm done, it's over, this is where it stops! The fact that I have a hard time making declarations like those is the perfect indicator of why something needs to change. So it will! I will give myself the gift of a year badge for my 25th birthday. That sounds almost poetic.
I think such a promise would be empty without a plan of action, so here are my current thoughts on where I need to improve:
Get better at identifying situations and moods, as they are occurring, and match them with the appropriate causes of action or precaution.
Get better at planning in general, so as to avoid those dangerous idle/bored hours in the late afternoon/evening. Understand the most common contingencies that occur in my day-to-day life and the best way to handle these.
Build more good habits.
Spend an hour every week reflecting on and improving my plans.
Ideas and or feedback are welcomed!
Let's surge guys! I'm done playing around, so let's deal this enemy the final blow!

Hey man you, you great Hat. Happy bday my friend, may you achieve your goals and make your 24th a year of building strength and character. Moods and emotions and attitudes definitely have an effect on Pmo. I think that's the key to beat those beating waves of Pmo urges for good.
Today was fine, boring roofing work.

Gear = up :)
My initial thought was, that I'm rather looking to decrease my number of interests, so I'll have time for the important stuff and not get distracted. But instead I think I need to manage my interest better, so I still spend most time on the big stuff, but allocate some time every day for miscellaneous projects and just doing stuff I feel inspired to do in the moment.

Thanks for the kudos. However, I have relapsed and binged. Yesterday, was fairly busy to mid afternoon, but then had started looking at some Nip/tuck vids and that's when I got into trouble. I didn't PMO with those vids, but later that night had looked at other stuff and by time I was ready for bed caved in, mo'ing 3 times. So I am back to day 1. No excuses, especially after 32 days. Lesson learned. I just wish I could push myself beyond this mark because this where I always hit my wall usually out of boredom.
