Yesterday was my brother’s birthday. The day before I had another “hanger”. I installed a mobile first-person-shooter game as I deleted Instagram and don’t procrastinate with YouTube. I played it from 7pm until 4am. Again. And I did not write a note nor track anything yesterday. Granted, it was not easy as we were out of town, but it’s a miss nonetheless.

It seems to me that my biggest issue is that I am not able to trust my own word to myself. The issue seems to be threefold to me:

• I set unrealistic goals
• I have a powerful procrastination habit
• I don’t have a system that makes it easy to do what I intended

As I am writing this at 1.50 am, after 1.5 hours of playing yet another video game, I realize that I need systems and more processes.

I will write down an evening routine and add it to the daily routine. Also rereading Atomic Habits.

I talked to ChatGPT today. It can speak German and Russian too! The Russian has quite a few errors but it is still incredible — you don’t even need to be fluent in English to use ChatGPT.
