My bad habits that I need to change till the December 31st:

1) No more regretting and whining about my bad pasts. Bygone is bygone. Thus, I shall always be proactive and futuristic in making myself better every day.

2) Always stand confidence towards various challenges thrown in my daily life.

3) Keeping myself happy and content is my number one priority.

4) Replacing fapping/porn/artificial women on the screens/image of naked women/etc. with conducting my research towards the women's biology, psychology, communication and others that work differently from me as a man. Also, I need to get back to the my former self where I used to act like a man before.

5)Replacing junk food/buffet/etc. with cooking at home daily. Consume more fresh fruits, vegetables, organic nuts, and others. Less caffeine, more rest at night, hitting the gym and jogging outdoors daily.

6) Less internet surfing, more going out on public, to breath fresh air and sunshine.

7) And most important of all above, once fall down, get up and keep moving forward. At least successfully accomplishing any one of above is much better than doing nothing about it at all.

Alright, I'm not really living an out-of-control life. Except for the woman part, because you know, when I don't contact them because I have commitments to my passion, I get a thought in the back of my head that they'd fly away (I don't act on this thoughts, they just lightly touch the periphery of my thoughts, and you know what they say about thoughts, right?). That's besides the point, since I'm already at the point where I don't derive my validation from women, and instead on the high that I get while I improve on my commitments.

Alright, since I don't have much vices to eliminate. My 3 things November would be:

1. Study Law for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes a day (I've been doing this for weeks actually, and have failed only once because I visited a relative, but then I think I've spent some 30 minutes despite being really tired after getting home).
2. Work out for 10 minutes every day (feel free to discuss this with me).
3. Meditate for 5 minutes first thing in the morning, then take a bath right after.

Starting Late.

1. Drink less , especially during the week.
2. Abstain from porn
3. Meditate Daily
4. Eat healthier

NoNothingNovember: A Path to Edification

http://goldmundunleashed.com/nonothingnovember-path-edification/

Blog: http://novembernothing.wordpress.com/

Goals:

• Fap less
• Gym 5 days a week, 1 hour minimum
• Talk to one new person each day

Updates:

You stopped smoking weed for a month so you could do crossfit? Kill yourself please

EDIT: I respect that you stopped smoking weed by the way, but seriously, crossfit? Just no

A little late to the party.

Blog: notthetypicalblogger.tumblr.com

My things are that has to go are:

1. Masturbation/Sex
2. The late nights
3. The endless movies and TV-shows

Glad to see im not the only one that picked tumblr for the task. I really like tumblr, dont like people that mostly use tumblr though. The late nights will be a hard one, i really dont want to be in my bed and not sleep, I feel like I waste my life doing it.

i gave up meat/except fish, drinking anything but water, started nofap hardmode and am not speaking (whichso far is killing me) oh and i dont shave :)

And heere we GO!

• No jacking it (and obviously no porn)
• No smoking (weed and ciggies)
• Buying food while out/fast food
• Getting smashed drunk. Halloween was the last, I don't drink much but when I do it's way too much half the time
• No caffeine

Seems like this is a good place for my first post. I've been going since the 2nd and originally I was only quitting porn but after having a no porn fap yesterday and reading though the ROK posts on not fapping I've added that too.

Weirdly, so far I miss my sweet lady caffeine the most...

#NoNothingNovember

Until December 3rd I am giving up:

-Alcohol

-Masturbation/Porn

-Reddit/Social Media in excess of 30min/day.

Already gave away the beers in the fridge, deleted all porn on my PC/phone, unsubscribed from all NSFW subs, and installed a Chrome extension to time and then block reddit/FB/twitter/imgur.

Also started on a big clean bulk, but that was already planned (185lb to 210lb). Should be an interesting month!

DAY 4: Never really quantified how much time I was wasting on reddit/fb- probably around 3-4 hours every afternoon, plus maybe 2 hours at work. To fill up this newfound free time yesterday I made a workout tracker http://imgur.com/Ix37eqW ,started reading "Jupiter's Travels" by Ted Simon, and cooked/portioned out 2 days worth of food. Diet is going well, I'm obsessively tracking calories and macros on the MyFitnessPal app. Had to write a 'creative' essay for a lib-ed class, would usually have had a beer or two to get the words flowing (I'm an engineer, I hate that type of assignment).

I started on Nov 1st but didn't add anything here so I will now. I have time off from work and get into bad habits pretty fast that need to go.

1. Wasting time on the internet. Too much gaming.
2. No junk food. - temptation galore as my kids are constantly offering me their Halloween chips etc and I am doing the majority of the grocery shopping while home so have access to junk food @ the grocery store.
3. Get at least 8 hours sleep every day.
4. Stop skipping meals. No junk food should help that.

OK. Trying again. Nofap, no internet videos of games, get research on track, no poor work on homework, as little gaming as possible.

Goals: Nofap, earlier to bed/ to wake up, less nicotine/videogames/internet, healthier food, more exercise

Vice 1: No ejaculation (I can still orgasm)

Vice 2: Wake up early every sunday through friday

Vice 3: No sugar, no bread

I've already quit Smoking and Drinking multiple times and this is the best advice I can think of. Typically when you get rid a habit you pick up a different one, most people go to eating. What I've found helps the most is counting calories. I use MyFitnessPal and it keeps you thinking about your progress and goals, one of the best things I ever did. I won't even drink a beer just cause its gonna fuck up my quota.

Edit: Words

Goals: exercise 4 times a week. Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Saturday. No trolling feminists and no manosphere visiting. Gonna get started on reading all those amazing books I got, fuk u shitty brain. 20 min meditation.. hmm 3 times a week. Getting my sleep and regulair sleeping patterns.

EDIT: Saw some guys mention no alcohol. This one is great I'm borrowing it :) .

Goals (yeah yeah, starting a couple days late):

1. No fap
2. No candy & soda
3. No getting less than 7 hours of sleep or hitting the snooze button

Blog: N/A

/r/stopdrinking

I'm already 23 days deep and am trying to get off the anti histamines to sleep (already dumped melatonin).

• Being mindful at all times (i.e. stop over analysing everything that I do).

• Stop going on Reddit the moment I wake up.

• Stop procrastinating and finish reading No More Mr Nice Guy.

I think I'm breaking one today. Sinus + swollen wrist = no karate.

Posting here to officialize my participation, although I did a post on my goals a couple of days ago:

http://www.youngmanredpill.com/2014/10/29/nonothingnovember-my-goals/

In general:

1)Maximize money made/saved. I work in sales. I'd like to make $4,500 this month.

2) No wasting time and thusly, finish my pilot.

3) No whack.

3b) No drinking until my birthday in late November.

In.

Will be doing IllimitableMan's monk mode, most notably Giving up porn & masturbation altogether.

Post for #NoNothingNovember

Blog: https://breadismurder.wordpress.com/

Goals:

Gym x4 a week !

Zero candy, zero carbon crap diet

no fap, the holy grail of nono's

wish me luck :)

wake up at 5 am everyday except saturday

But this is when most of the good video games come out!

Ok I'm 22 and have no social life. Let's do this:

1) No more alcohol outside of social settings. This might sound like a cop out, but I'm not an alcoholic, I don't let it get in the way of responsibilities and I don't get extremely drunk. Alcohol is just another time waster because I have nothing to do on the weekends and it makes me feel OK with being bored. Only time I'm drinking is in a bar with somebody else.

2) No more Reddit or time wasting websites. I will check the front page once a day for news and check in to other peoples blogs for a few minutes. That is it. This means no more trolling, or mindless front page surfing. No more posting shit like this

3) I'm going to talk to three new guys every day and approach at least one girl everyday.

4) No masturbation.

Anybody have any tips for a guy looking to meet more people? I am in my last year of college and haven't found clubs, teams or classes to be a good way to meet people. I already work out a lot but that's the only thing I'm really proud of. I might add video games to this but I only play on the weekends really.

Man, it sucks that I'm going to be unemployed soon. It basically means I just have even MORE time in my hands to get bored.
But I guess it just means I really need to do this because I don't want to be NEET even for a day.

No porn, fapping or 4chan. Sounds easy now, but we'll see how far it goes.

I set up my blog http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=71594860&f=276&o=0#p481792220

If you guys are interested look it up, Submissions of my progress will be posted before bed.

I'm giving up weed entirely, and cutting way back on reddit.

Sigh.

Well, I've been lurking since January. Figure this may as well be my first post. Goodbye cigarettes. I was smoking half a pack a day Summer of 2013. By February I was down to five a day, by this past summer two a day. I now only smoke when I drink which leads to the next subject. No alcohol till Thanksgiving, save ONE glass of wine with dinner. Also, no cheese till Thanksgiving. No fried food at all. And finally, no Facebook. Here we go...

• Fapping and porn.
• Non-occasional booze; "Card game night with the chums." is an occasion, "It's the weekend and/or I'm bored." is not.
• Video Games. All of them, Xbox and phone games.
• Fiction/entertainment novels until I finish the suggested reading.

Phew, that's basically all of my free time. Good thing I already have my reading list prepared. I'm on my fourth reading of "No More Mr. Nice Guy", I've got 33 Strategies of War, Mastery, Art of Seduction, and 48 Laws of Power left to read. I'm probably going to knock those out before December as well. Anyone wanna hit me with more to read?

I guess fapping, non-educational TV (I take several video courses from The Great Courses), over-sleeping, and non-business internet.

My goals are:

·No caffeine

·No Fap

·No wasting time (Reddit, 4chan)

Every day I will:

Go to the gym. No excuses.

Meditate for 20 min.

Approach.

Goal: feel better about myself.

>No drunkenness. I like good beer and drink, so I won't cut it off completely, but fuck me. I just can't drink alcohol like I did in college. I had a few strong drinks and shots last night, woke up with a mild headache today. Already wasted some time this morning just laying around in bed. I'm getting tired of what drunkenness leads to the next day.

>No sloth. I'm already doing Stronglifts at the crack o' dawn three times a week. I want to incorporate more activity into my life. Today I'm going to go walk around in nature. This will be hard during Thanksgiving week when I visit family, but I reckon I can at least go for a brisk walk / jog around Central Park. Should be lovely this time of year.

>Mindless consumption. Been watching a lot of The Walking Dead recently. Great show. But I have been putting off finishing a book. I want to at least finish that book and start another. Maybe even finish the second one!

I guess I'll have to give up more than three.

Fapping, soda (I heart carbonation, so I'm keeping diet soda, since bodybuilders recommend it as a way to make you not want to eat carbs), wheat and dairy (I shouldn't eat that shit, anyways), oversleeping, and wasting time on the internet/video games.

Dropped out of the dating market, so got no one to impress, gonna hit the gym and martial arts when my injuries heal up. Gonna need a plan...

Keeping morning energy drink, though.

Goodbye caffeine, masturbation, and television.

It begins: http://goldmundunleashed.com/nonothingnovember-begins/

I'll have to set up a blog.

I'm already 1 month into quitting cigs.

My No goals : No Fap. No Video Games. No Weed. No Mindless TV. (Pick the shows I want to watch, DVR and watch on Sundays). No Mindless Internet. (Business and self improvement reading only, no facebook). No Sloth. Earn $1000.

No Booze/Shit Food,No masturbation/Porn, No caring about pussy.

Going to get lit up with a buddy tonight, cheers guys, and stay vigilant this month.

My quick entry into #NoNothingNovember:

*No Online Dating

*No Beer

*No Masturbating

Full post on the topic here: http://masculineprofiles.com/no-nothing-november/

Best of luck to you all!

I'm going with no pot and no jerking off.

This is going to be hard considering I jerked off twice already this morning, but if I can make it a week I'll be satisfied with this trial run.

No drugs

No alcohol

No snooze button

I hope meditation helps me fight the "urge"

Maintain : -Daily meditation -nofap/PMO -cold showers -training twice a day (2 hours +) football goal, skill training -HIIT gym 3 times a week. Change : -Only do productive tasks, if mindlessly browsing, immediately stop, and do something productive. -Cut out refined sugar, empty carbohydrates from diet ~ ie, any breakfast cereal, any snack in a package ect..

NOTE Future updates will not be posted here.

Find them on my blog, my subreddit post, or my Twitter.

Blog: https://medium.com/@vicesandvirtues/

Link to this intro post: https://medium.com/@vicesandvirtues/day-0-1d55dd970a4e

Vices (things to not do):

• Stop half-ass working out and staying healthy. I've been inconsistent with my gym routine and diet protocol for the past two years. This stops now.

• Underachieve and go through days without a to do list or organizational system.

• Smoke weed. It makes me weak, socially inept, content with laziness, uncompetitive. Pretty much turns me into a beta.

Virtues (things to do):

• There are three components to physical fitness. 1) Lift heavy 2) Eat right 3) Sleep. These are all held together by a fourth element: consistency. I must not deviate from my routine. 1) Since I am not a beginner at lifting, I will do an intermediate routine called PHAT (http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html). It features a five day split that combines strength training and hypertrophy training. 2) I need to determine my calorie and macronutrient needs, at the minimum. (After I have these down, I can add micronutrients and supplements such as fish oil and creatine, as needed.) I then need to come up with foods that match these requirements and fit with my busy schedule. Due to social reasons and to be realistic, I will allow myself one cheat meal (dinner with friends) per week, no more. 3) Sleep. 9-10 hours. This will be a tough one because it requires everything else in my life to be in check. If I slack off in any part of my life, then I will have to work into the night and lose sleep. Not good. Which brings me to the next virtue...

• I need an organizational system to stick to and to encourage my productivity. I am looking into the GTD (Getting Things Done) system by David Allen. I'm using this as a quick set up guide: http://hamberg.no/gtd/ . However, I've also acquired the book and will read it by the end of the first week of November (8th).

• I need to find a way to get my weed stash away from me or make it otherwise inaccessible. I don't want to throw it away since shit's expensive. However, I mainly use a vape, which requires special batteries. I will store the batteries in an inaccessible place and remove my ability to use the vape. However, I need to identify why I need to get high in the first place and replace that act with something else that will fill the "void". I'm banking on working out and staying healthy being enough, but if not, my back up plan is to make more time and plans for friends who aren't stoners.

There's the general plan. Tomorrow morning, on November 1, I will do the following:

• Purchase a gym membership
• Determine my calorie and macronutrient requirements
• Plan a weekly diet
• Plan the weekly lifting routine: M T Th F S
• Take my "before" pictures and gather baseline data (starting weight, size measurements of body parts)
• Read 1/8 of GTD
• Set up the GTD system in Evernote and beginning using it for my tasks that day
• Set up my Google calendar to use it with the GTD system
• Hide my vape batteries

LETS DO THIS.

Giving up pot, fap and media consumption is rich for my blood and I am taking it off the table right now. I could give up Reddit but I don't think it is a "vice."

I gave up drinking already for those damn liver enzyme tests and gave up gaming for writing, research and classroom prep. I gave up sitting on my ass for the gym last year and gave up being a Beta bitch pussy ass candy striped mother fucker at the same time.

I have thought for so long about affirmative acts I need to take and things I need to DO. This has me thinking really hard about things I need to stop doing. Mind blown. All that improvement and work but I have not thought about my vices in a long time.

I suppose my biggest remaining vice is my tendency to stay up rather late... so for November I will commit to not stay up past my bedtime. This is actually going to be rather difficult.

Fuck that shit, I just did Sober October.

this is a little late but awesome idea Mine will be : -no masturbation -No fast food -not sleeping in late

Excellent idea to encourage abandoning vices and self discipline. I'll join in with my 3 Goals for "No Nothing November":

(1) No Smoking - my social smoking turned into a semi-regular vice. In part due to going out often and in part due to giving myself excuses. No smoking for a month should be a pretty good start towards completely abandoning this shitty habit.

(2) No Wasting Money - I am single, work a full time job and make enough where I can live a comfortable life renting my own place and eating out often. But I've noticed that especially lately I haven't been careful with my money, whether when going out or just randomly buying stuff. That money can go towards vacations or the new hobby which I'm soon to pick up.

(3) No Careless Eating - I workout pretty regularly (3-4 times a week) and my usual diet kept me around 15-20% body fat with a physique that I am pretty comfortable with. Last three weeks, for one reason or another, I've been eating like shit and aside from gaining 3.5 lbs I noticed that I'm not supplying my body with proper nutrients to compensate the workouts. This goal would be to eat properly as before - proper macros, balanced, mindful portions and healthy.

Stay strong everyone and I'll be looking forward to reading your updates!

Im in goals -No social media or wasting time on the internet -Get proper amount of sleep -No zero days

I'm in.

Blog: Splooshworld.com

Twitter: Jeremysploosh

Goals: No getting back in bed after alarm goes off, No booze, and no TV or Movies.

I'll have my post up tomorrow [EDIT: my post is here http://splooshworld.com/nonothingnovember-1-month-3-vices-excuses/).

Let's beast on this month gents. We're all accountabilibuddies this month.

This will be really good for me... kinda pathetic person right now.

I'll give up Media/Games (Only use pc for university coursework), Junk food and fizzy/bad drinks.

Another entry for #NoNothingNovember

Blog: http://theworldof2q14.wordpress.com/

Vices: Computer games, porn, procrastinating.

Updating frequently

Goals:

Morning workouts (I'm just fucking lazy in the morning...) No bad, easy sex (no fapping, no hookers, no fat chicks....) No coffee No cigarettes (fuck me... just writing this made me want to smoke!) Eat healthy, every meal of every day

3 major vices to remove:

~ Reduce social media and web browsing to reading TRP feed and responding to FB messages - max 30 minutes a day combined. This also means I'm saying goodbye to reddit for a month.

~ No more days without any exercise, even if it's only a longer walk.

~ Stop going to sleep unprepared for the following day, which directly translates into easier time getting up and having a productive morning.

Gonna use Toogl for a better time tracking.

I'm baffled about how many puts reddit as a vice and want to kick it completely, when it's the thing that put this idea (and the rest of the good reading on this subreddit) into your life. Seems so contradicting, but then again, it's only my subjective view and people may put a lot more time in to this than me.

Entry into #NoNothingNovember

Goals: No porn or masturbation for a month. By this, I mean no watching porn and no edging. Period.

Post for #NoNothingNovember

Blog: http://crimsoncapsule.wordpress.com/

Goals: No Indecision No Junk Foods/Carbs and sugary horribleness, there will probably be a Thanksgiving exception No Tobacco No Media Consumption before 11:00 AM

the first post will hit Saturday, I plan to detail why I chose each and ramble about other things.

I started a new twitter to rep the new blog and my experience with the Red Pill. ( I just took it this morning) Follow me @TheCrimsonCap

I'm in. Great idea and something I've wanted to do for a minute. Now I have a reason to.

I'll give this a go. I'll be giving up

-fapping -meat -bread

Men shouldn't be using hashtags unless they're making money from them somehow.

No internet - only for work, etc No smoking No alchohol

I will do this. Although I find it nearly impossible to be without internet, and because I often work on my PC, it is very easy to "switch off" and by accident go on internet.

Entry into #NoNothingNovember

Blog: None

Goals:

Nofap

1. NoFap (seems to be a popular one)
2. No shit food
3. No sleep procrastination (go to bed to get at least 8 hours every night)

1. To be at peace with myself, while making improvements and remembering past achievements. Be proud of the amazing things I've achieved and work even harder every day to make myself even better.

2. Continue to stay away from porn while doing nofap.

3. Create additional income and become my own boss.

I'm in.

1. No skipping work outs, 4 times a week, no excuses.
2. Spend 3 hours a week on my side business. I spend about an hour to 2 hours every week on it and it is profitable, but it takes me forever to complete simple tasks "on the business" and improving it.
3. No porn.
4. Flirt with girls in public instead of making excuses. This is one of my worst vices and I am sick of it.

Not going to be easy but I'm going to go without:

• reddit, the only thing I'll really miss is asktrp and the guys I've started mentoring from there
• Facebook
• PlayStation

See you guys in a month!

No reddit, no facebook, no fap.

Later guys.

EDIT: Only going to browse reddit for serious business.

If I had any vices I would get rid of them, barely drink so it's easy to go six months without it. Eat healthy all the time, mainly cook for myself. Don't drink sugary shit. Working on building my home by hand so the gym is redundant. No TV or video games out here in the woods, and my Internet usage is quite low.

Perhaps I will do something in November rather than not do something, like curtail the monk mode I've been in for months and go fuck some skinny chicks.

1. No Drinking
2. Study for class and work on thesis everyday, procrastination vice

Think about using /r/theXeffect for this.

I am going to stop fast food restaurants.

I am going to work out every weekday.

I am going to spend 30 minutes improving my apartment every day

No Masturbation

I lot of people here are planing to stop masturbating! Yes, I'm really glad to hear this as I'm a long term nofapper and It has really helped me change my life. Please visit /r/NoFap when urges come up and start a counter (how many days of nofap) to help you stay motivated. I found it's one of the greatest tools to keep a clear and focused mind. The extra testosterone will keep you vigilant. If your having sex I would recommend reading up on tantra sex and give it a shot, its a great way to retain energy.

No TV / Social Media or Games

These don't add value to our life, It's virtual entertainment without lasting benefits. I recommend quitting all social media like facebook,reddit,tv,9gag, etc, as if you only quit one or two, you will find your self spending more time on the others. Use reddit and other social media smart; like checking for what you need (self improvement), and not want (entertainment).

• I have quit Marijuana & Caffeine; as they don't add anything to my life and make my mind more clouded and depended; relaxing or energetic. My mentality going forward was: "Why should I depend on anything that give me energy? Because when I don't take it, I will feel weak!"

I find out that these tasks are much more better to do with your time:

• Read a book; do writing
• Play guitar; write a song
• Go for a swim; jacuzzi
• Research; Discuss.
• Photography; do drawing
• Go for a walk; people watch

Self-Improvement is a big part of our life, we need to do new things and get more efficient at old tasks:

If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend six sharpening my ax. — Abraham Lincoln

Goodbye Alcohol, Facebook, and sleeping in.

I'm already an alcohol-free, caffeine-free vegan and so there's not much I can do in the way of diet which seems to popular right now. But here goes:

1. No porn - there is a distinct difference between masturbating and porn. For example, my gf is away for the whole week and no man should go that long without a release. The difference is how you go about it. If you just pull up some porn, jerk off over the same shit, then you suffer from all the things that have been discussed at length about masturbation. However if you have a couple of healthy sessions where you think about scenarios involving your gf or other real world people (thinking about having sex with the hot girl at work for the sake of a release is not unfaithful, continually lusting for her is) then after your orgasm your reaction is "Wow that was awesome" not "Clean up the shame and regret". Too many times I let porn get in the way. So no more.

2. No more moaning about work - this might seem like a strange one but let me explain. Me and my gf get home at roughly the same time everyday. We spend dinner moaning to each other about how shitty our workdays were. I actually like my job, but every company has assholes. So as soon as there's nothing left to moan about it, neither of us feel better, we're miserable and it's a shitty way to start the evening. From now on, only positive discussion and no more bitching about the workplace. It's a battle you'll never win.

3. Be able to be content whilst still striving for improvement - it's a difficult balance to get right but its something I know I need to change. Ever since I discovered the community I've been thinking I need to earn more money, build muscle and strive for self-improvement in every aspect of life that I can. However this can easily bog you down, why am I still stick thin, why do I still earn peanuts, why isn't it happening for me yet? It's very self destructive to make unrealistic goals and then beat yourself up when they're not achieved, this is essentially what I've been doing since discovering the community and ultimately it's unhealthy. So instead of getting down about why I'm not at a certain level I'm going to try and be more content with the improvements I've already made whilst striving to become better. The moment you compare yourself to somebody else or put your future-self on a pedestal then you've failed. I aim to be happier with my ongoing work towards becoming a better man whilst also never settling. Don't have an end goal, just continuously improve. This is something I've never been able to do.

If you run firefox, try the Leechblock addon, which lets you self-block websites of your choice. I've blocked imgur, funnyjunk, and all of my favorite porn sites about 4 months ago, and that's all it took to quit wasting my time there.

EDIT : http://www.reddit.com/r/nonothingnovember/comments/2kpreo/my_habbits_i_will_drop_in_november_2014/

Things to give up:

1. Video games and video game related media
2. Walking up late. need to be up at 9am including weekends
3. Drinking coffee after 1pm

Things to do every day:

1. Meditation
2. Blog daily (about the challenge or anything for that matter)
3. Workout, even if it's just some yoga

one of mine will probably be Reddit, sooooooo... looks like I'll be seeing you fine Gentlemen in December! Happy Thanksgiving

This is a great idea, I want to ask the RPW mods if we can make a similar post and support each other in kicking vices like good RP men and women ;)

For NoNothingNovember I'll be giving up: A) Sleeping in B) Being lazy about my morning routine (keeping up on daily squats, yoga and meditation) C) Interrupting (special request by my SO)

Mine will be giving up booze for a month.. Challenge accepted.

If any of you are going to be like those weak attention-seeking pussies on new year's who make a promise and don't keep it past the first few days, don't even bother.

The reason why doing this over a month, and in a consistent manner, is the format chosen is because that is the approximate time it takes a person to form a solid self-sustaining habit.

By forcing yourself to commit to long term goals, and restraining yourself from acting foolishly for a fleeting short-term reward, you are contributing to a future ability to do even better. You are literally re-modeling your brain until these better choices and abilities come more naturally to you. Until they make tangibly instinctive.

Think of your brain as like a muscle and think of this as an exercise as essential as lifting, if not more so.

You are cultivating here is mastery over self. And as some pretty nifty side-effects, you get 3 or more snazzy new habits.

So by the nature of this exercise, you start small and work your way up. Make a target for this month that you will keep, something solid and well-defined so you have no room to make excuses. And carry that momentum and increased self-control for bigger and better goals the next month. I swear it won't even feel like a chore anymore by month 2.

Remember, the first steps will inevitably be the hardest. But once you start making changes, the effects multiply and carry over to other areas. Each step solidifies your resolve until it becomes easier.

Get to it, gentlemen. Make yourselves proud.

Think I'm gna give up smoking shisha.

I'm training harder then ever and as much as I love it. It fucking slows me down.

Yeah shisha for a month. Fuck it.

I'm really considering this, I'm actually getting excited.

I acknowledge that if I were to give up my top three crutches that I would likely lose some friends and end up in jail.

Definitely something I'm going to try/change. I need more lead/prep time than a couple days. I'll catch up a week in or sooner.

Vices to drop:

• Fapping
• Sugar and sweets (excluding fruit)
• Mindless time wasting on the web and reddit
• TV and TV series
• giving a fuck xD

I dine out way too much, which wastes money and isn't conducive to healthy, clean eating. I'm committing to limiting dining out to twice a week (the two nights I don't really have a choice). The rest will be home cooked or home prepared.

Edit, in the style of some of the other posts:

Blog: In the process Goals:

• Eat out 2x a week max
• Drop 10 lbs of fat from recent bulk
• Refrain from online dating after breaking up with my most recent LTR. In person only
• Finish my first blog posts, launch
• Get my side web development/server admin business going

I highly recommend reading/listening to The Power of Habit, it offers excellent insight and support for understanding and changing our habits.

Media was my vice, here's countless shit about media a blog twitter HD jrbr by ddidkbfvf h dis

OK. I'm on board.

Comes at a damn good time as my thesis is due November 31st. This might just save my shit!

Blog

I'll just use the new subreddit

Goals

• No video games
• No zero days - so gym or swim or ride everyday, thesis words everyday, 20 minutes to some skills I'm working on (this will replace the excuse of the pc games as a break, I've been using)
• No fap. Since I haven't been convinced yet about WHY this is a good thing, I guess I'll try it and find out for myself...... But damned if I'm joining THAT subreddit

Updates - (Rewards?)

I'm using an index card system, with each card pertaining to each of the three goals. I've marked out 31 boxes to tick off as I get to midnight on each day in November, I'll tick off that day.

Is anyone else using a reward system to track and motivate progress? I'd like to know how yours work.

Interesting challenge, Kid. A good way to test our discipline with things we know are bad or holding us back but still do anyways because of a bit of enjoyment we get out of it. Instead of the subtraction theory of only removing things from our lives, maybe try the replacement theory with giving up something negative with a possible positive thing. For example, many people including myself, when quitting tobacco started eating more and gaining weight not realizing that one habit took the place of another. Just something to think about in the next month.

Although Im 20 years old, ill be letting go of masturbation, alchohol/partying with friends, no junk food i.e desserts, fast food etc. and no more procrastination, if I want something done, ill get it done without hesitation.

Ill be setting up a blog, will post here for the public.

NoNothingNovember. It will determine what kind of men we are. Men who overcome whatever is put in front of us.

Goodluck Gents!

Edit: im also going to stop looking at women, i keep looking ass and boobs all the time with a distraction.

What if one of my crutches is working out/lifting because I love the burn and results?

I don't have any crutches except sleeping too much and it's fucking hard to stop it, especially since I got a brand new mattress!

The red pill gives back to society by fostering the development of a generation of male bad ass. Way to go guys !

Definitely my iPad/laptop. It's like the fuel to all my addictions. Porn, social media stalking, procrastination.. Don't feel like studying? Go torrent a movie or get lost on reddit or YouTube. Feeling lonely? Go stalk your ex on Facebook and IG or watch hours of porn. (Though I must say, I've made good progress on nofap. Tranny porn doesn't make my dick twitch anymore, and cuckold porn only interests me about an hour into my porn session) .. So yeah. Cold turkey on the social media. I'll supplement them with meditation in the morning. Maybe my lifts will improve too.

Can't have a self improvement month without mentioning monk mode.

Entry Into #NoNothingNovember

Blog: yzxmnonothing.wordpress.com

Goals:

1. No Masturbation.

2. No Media consumption that doesn’t have intellectual content (ie reddit)

3. No spending money on premade food and drink (Starbucks and sandwich shops)

Updates: I made a simple first post on the blog basically saying the same thing I said here. Starting Nov 1 I will be updating once a day.

After the end of november, We will post another thread with people's final progress, and voting will begin.

If you need a place to track your progress, and you don't have a blog, consider:

• Twitter, use hashtag #nonothingnovember
• Use this subreddit to post your progress: /r/nonothingnovember

/u/kidstrangelove, please put this in your post!

Objective : Get a £20k + career started ( been applying for jobs the past 3 months in London since i graduated, no luck).

Survive in London ( I have 2 minimum wage jobs I need another one fast !)

How

1 :Shove my pride away and reinvent my C.V. and Cover Letter

2 :Abstain from masturbation to give me extra drive

3 :Change my accent ( I have an accent that people tend to be prejudice towards)

4: Internet time is limited to job search / reddit late at night

5 : Attempt to get a minimum wage job in central, central London to increase networking chances

6 :for the fuck of it, eat like a caveman (clean) to keep my body fat low and maintain that ripped look

7: New tactic apply to businesses directly.

This is cool. My first thought is that, you know, #Lent beat you out by a minute or two to the idea. But, then again, most people halfheartedly give up shit they don't actually care about, then brag on themselves for 6 weeks because they stopped going to Starbucks. Plus, I have a feeling there'll be more real community support for anyone taking this on, since the goal here is to be extraordinary, rather than simply avoiding the appearance of laziness and doing as little as possible.

I'll have to think on what's still holding me back.

No cigarettes No masterbation No wasting time on reddit

Here we go.

No computer or phone games.
No added sugar.
No leaving a household chore unfinished.

Goals: Nofap, CARDIO(gotta lose 20 pounds), consistent lifting, and fuck it here's a fourth NEW JOB. I'm seriously getting underpaid and live in a shit town. Time to change all that.

Not really in vice form but whatever.

1. No alcohol
2. No timewasters (reddit, videogames,etc)
3. No masturbation.

...See ya guys in December hopefully....

Entry into #NoNothingNovember

Blog: http://deepthrill.blogspot.com

Goals:

• No oversleeping.
• No cannabis use.
• No skipping days for meditation.

Updates:

Oversleeping is definitely a big vice for mine and I am fortunate enough for the luxury of it given my career. However, it holds me back, doesn't develop any discipline, and fucks up my sleeping schedule.

Cannabis is something I use to increase my self-awareness and explore my psyche, but it's a crutch. It's a temporary tool I refuse to be dependent on for self-improvement. Which brings me to...

Meditation. It results in the permanent lasting changes in my mind which actually led me to even find this site. I do concentration meditation throughout the day and mindful or body scanning meditation at night. No more skipping days.

A link to all my #NoNothingNovember posts.

• 2014-11-01: Day 1
• 2014-11-02: Day 2
• 2014-11-04: Day 4
• 2014-11-17: Day 17
• 2014-11-30: Day 30

Goals: Trackable actions

Stop Wasting Time: Time track using Toggl. I've wanted to implement this for forever after so many books have recommended it. I often wonder what I did with the last hour. As they say: what gets measured gets managed.

Stop being Disorganized: I'm a huge fan of GTD, and when I do Daily Reviews consistently, my life is so much less stressful. I'm not sitting there thinking about what I'm not doing, and am able focus entirely on what I have decided what's important.

Stop getting caught up in busy work: I have employees. I have a virtual assistant that I never use. I still get involved in shit I shouldn't, and all of the sudden 2 months have gone by without working on an important project. My goal is to aggressively delegate way more than I feel comfortable with by creating a "To Delegate" checklist in my daily review every day..

Definitely looking forward to this, as thinking about this stuff (and not implementing it) has been a point of stress as well.

I guess I will stop smoking and masturbating, sounds like a good challenge.

My #NoNothingNovember:

Goals:

1. No "zero days" on my goals
2. No caffeine or drinks besides water
3. No pornography
4. No reddit

This challenge works out perfectly because at the beginning of December I will be initiated into my fraternity. I will be extending the challenge until my day of initiation. Really excited to get started.

This pretty much sounds like monk mode to me. I already do this. I cut all social networking to 1 hour/month, TV and reddit to 1 hour per day, no games, no other useless unproductive drivel, 2 hours of reading and everything else for my overarching goals which I tweak every few weeks to keep myself on track.

Once you do monk mode for a while, it becomes your modus operandi

[deleted]

For me it's alcohol and reddit. i don't really have a fapping problem anymore but I want to keep going so I will add that in.

However this only goes until thanksgiving for me. I am going to Medellin for thanksgiving and I assure you I will be drinking.

Entry into #NoNothingNovember.

No Twitter, no blog.

No masturbation or porn.

No sugary drinks or bread/sweet carbs.

No occasional tobacco or drugs.

Good luck guys.

I really like this, #NoNothingNovember, my goal Starting next week will also include "Monk Mode."

Landing a much better job (already looking with positive prospects)
