Day 1: No more media

I made a cold withdrawal. The first thing, that comes to my mind after setting the challenge is, that I have to block all the bad websites. But no. Stop. I was not really addicted. The Goal is to change my lifestyle by changing my priorities.

There was a moment of silence. I couldn't find any activieties, that are not forbidden. So I shut down my computer.
But still I didn't start to do my urgend work. I continued procrastination. I simply didn't have the energy to do what has to be done.

In the night I couldn't fall asleep. After reading for one hour my eyes were too tired to go on, but my brain didn't consider to let me sleep, althrough I sleep very good normally. During the night I was a little concious from time to time: I was dreaming about my new challenge. I was dreaming about all the things I can't do anymore. But even in dream I already realized, that they are forbidden now.

This morning I woke up, but didn't stand up. I didn't know what I would do after I get up. So here starts the real challenge: I need to figure out, what I really want to do. Of course I have watched many TEDs, I have read many motivational books, so I know my priorities. They are 1. my studies 2. my business and 3. learn Chinese. The first one of these is my obligation, the other both are hobby. Now I need to figure out, how to do that all day long. How to start to be productive from morning to evening.

It feels good to do the things I really want to do. I did something for all my three deals. But I think it's dangerous. Doing business or studying chinese feels important, it makes me feel smarter, but it is not as urgend as my university exams. Maybe I would have studied more without the challenge. After waisting some time on the internet I would feel bad and think I have to study now. But after stuying I don't have a bad feeling, that tells me I have to study.

So after I was busy for many hours it was knocking-off time. There was a new challenge born. How can I calm down and enjoy my evening without media? I thought about any possible exceptation from my rules, but I stayed strong.

At the end of the day I find some conclusions: Without media I was much more creative. Normally I am a very introvert person (thats why I write my lonely blog), but today I was looking out for people and gave double as much greetings as normally. It's hard to find pleasure without media. I started to drink alcohol and smoked, what is not a daily part of my life.

Day1: The advantages and disadvantages stay in balance.
