💭 Diary

Extrinsic motivation, such as betting money, making promises, and making announcements, is only meaningful if it is preceded by intrinsic motivation.

Acknowledge that there are tendencies/states/environments that cannot lead to change through strong intrinsic motivation alone, and build a system and create an environment.

Steadily.
Let’s continue.
Continue like this.
Don’t get tired.
Don’t overdo it.

…

I did really well this week… Should I set aside a cheat day?
If I make a mistake, I feel like I will collapse again from exhaustion in the middle. The moment comes right away.

Yeah. To sustain for a long period of time, you also need rest days.

For example, tomorrow…?

✨ Comment from GPT (KPT)

✅ What Went Well (Keep)

• 🌊 Consistent practice of routine: The exercise, diet, gratitude, and Habit routines are maintained almost perfectly. This is truly an achievement!
• 💡 Metacognition and Self-Diagnosis: Realizing that “I did well this week, but I’m about to get tired” is advanced self-management.
• 💬 Short and strong pledge phrases: “Consistently. Let’s continue. Continue like this.” These sentences are easily imprinted in our consciousness, so they are meaningful even if we repeat them every day.

❌ What Was Missing (Problem)

• 🧱 Interruption of reading/study routine: I keep missing ‘10 minutes of reading’ and ‘organizing my study blog’ this week. It looks like an adjustment is needed before it sticks to the pattern.
• 🔄 Undermining the Abstinence Routine: I’m having a string of failures with my dopamine abstinence items, and I think I need a conscious approach.
• 📘 Missing Bible Chapter 2 routine: It’s a shame that items that were consistently maintained are missing. It might be a good idea to think about a strategy to put back in!

🔄 Things to Try (Try)

• 📆 Introduction of official cheat day: If you set an ‘unconditional rest day’ once a week in advance, you can recover without feeling ashamed.
• 🧭 Rearrange routine priorities: Rather than forcing your reading or study routine into a daily routine, a strategy is to reduce it to once every three days or on a specific day of the week.
• 🔋 Creating a ‘fatigue prediction indicator’: Create a system that automatically executes a recovery plan when ‘likely to get tired’ is detected, like now.

🏁 Conclusion

I’ve been running really well this week, and my self-diagnosis was accurate.
Choosing a day off to maintain consistency is not irresponsible, but strategic.
Let’s continue like this, but adjust the pace wisely, and continue strong next week! 🌿🔥
