Day 1 Fasting -165.9 Pounds

9:14 PM

Today has been my most productive day of the year so far. I created several strict rules for myself that I followed today, and I had the most productive day as the result.

The first rule is that I can no longer bring in any devices with screens into my bedroom, with the exception being my Apple Watch Ultra 2. So no phones, no laptops, no TVs, nothing with a screen can enter my bedroom. This has resulted in me leaving my laptops and phones inside my office instead of in my bedroom, and has forced me to stand up and go to the office if I want to do anything on any of my devices.

The second rule is that I'm quitting pretty much every form of entertainment. No more anime, manga, random videos, and other uneducational content. These things are fun every once in a while, but I've decided to just quit them all completely. I've already quit video games since the end of last year (2024), and haven't played any since then, so I didn't have to make any adjustments there. I just had to quit anime and manga as well mainly

I think these were the two main rules I implemented today, to great effect. I'm basically not able to do anything unless it's something productive now. Today I completed two page redesigns for a project at work, I completed some work for another client, I caught up on a lot of personal tasks that I procrastinated for months on, I cleaned up my home, I pulled out some weeds, I got so much work done throughout the day.

I can get really specific of course about everything I did, but let's just say it was substantial, and that it took up my entire day. On my task manager, it says I did 11 pomodoros today, and I wasn't even doing a pomodoro for every productive thing I did.

Getting things done clears up so much mental space because I'm no longer worried about that thing, whatever that thing is. Being behind on some tasks caused me to think about that task even while I was enjoying myself reading manga or watching anime. Now that some difficult things are done, I feel a mental load has been taken off my shoulders.

Anyway, I am really tired and hungry again now. I was contemplating eating again today, but decided against it. I'm done eating until February 1st or so. I'm so tired. So hungry. So tired. I wonder if I can keep this productivity streak up? I don't know.

I feel so much hunger right now that I feel like giving up and eating, but I'm going to keep going. I want to see if I can even last until February 1st. Can I do that?

Anyway, so tired. So hunrgy. It's only been around 26 hours since I last ate anything too, so barely even a day, yet I'm already feeling this way. How will I last?

Time to take a nap or go to sleep or something.
