This day wasn't the most productive. I got home early and relapsed after dinner. Maybe a sign of progress: it wasn't very satisfying.
Changes:
It's fine to stay home after morning routine. Sometimes it's unavoidable because of uni work and sometimes it's just nice to stay home.
Deleted Brave and Reddit from phone.
...
Still going strong. Today I spent most of the day in the city, working on some uni assignments. I'm still at the library and will probably get home a bit late.
...
Relapsed eventually.
Things I learnt from this:
the weekend is very dangerous
vacant time slot with a pressure to work is very dangerous
Changes:
block Safari private browsing with an unknown passcode
add a warning for myself to not plan mentally-taxing working session after a day in the city
...
I spent most of the day in the city working. But when I got home, I was again quite tired and not in the mood for working. Almost relapsed, but I'm gonna count that as effectively a relapse. So, we're starting at Day 1 again tomorrow. It's very difficult, but we can do this!

Today I relapsed. After I got home from a full day out, I felt quite tired wasn't very in a mood for work. That was when the urge kicked in. Safari wasn't blocked properly and my phone obviously didn't have CTB. Sad that this happened, but 6 days is not bad at all. Definitely a progress. Day 1 starts again tomorrow, with the following changes:
block Safari private browsing
after a full day out, avoid scheduling in working session unless absolutely necessary
write daily entry with more detail ...
Made my bed first thing in the morning. Spent most of the day in the city. Wasn't the most productive day but I'm feeling quite good. Still going strong.

Hello, World!
Starting today, I will write an entry on this blog every day (when possible) updating everyone on my progress.
Last relapse on 22 October 2022.
New strategies:
accountability → this blog
environment 1 → be in the city as much as possible during the day
environment 2 → make bed weirdly and don't lie in it until evening
