Hey gang! I have decided to embark on a 30 day challenge where I do not play video games or consume any video game media. So basically no twitch or youtube either. The goal is to just get rid of habits that distract me from reaching my goals in life. So hopefully I can use the time I would have spent playing video games or watching twitch to get some work done on my side projects or just get things done around the house.

I am going to use this blog to document all the productive stuff that I get done.

Day 1: I spent about 30 minutes doing some coding for a side project of mine. Making progress towards my goal of having a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) done by the end of the year. Also cooked a shrimp fetuccini with roasted garlic sauce. It was pretty dank.

Day 2: more time doing some coding. Also got some dishes done and did a load of laundry.

Day 3: Went to celebrate roommate's friend's birthday after work so I wasn't able to get any work done. I think I did a little bit in the morning but not much. Going to try to get a lot done this weekend though.

Day 4: got some more work done but mostly just had a chill Saturday to myself.

Day 5: Added a new small feature to my site. Made a list of features that still need to be implemented before it goes live. The biggest one is going to be the actual design of it. At the moment it is just plain black text on white background. Also trying to get a list of long-term features I could do to try to turn a website that will hopefully make me some side money into an actual, profitable, business model. Also got a lot of chores done and did my meal prep.

So day 19 I guess. I had a little falling off the wagon where I got hooked on 2048, but that was mostly just while at work. Still putting in work on my side projects though.

Day 28: Realize I haven't been posting as much as I should. But I've been stuck on my personal project because of a kind of difficult coding problem I have been avoiding. I have been spending a lot of my time practicing my cooking skills which is still going to help my project since it is diet related. As I'm getting close to day 30 I've been debating what role I want video games to have in my life. I might just try avoiding them after day 30 to see if it helps me become a more successful person. I have to say, I have been feeling really good about myself lately.
