My personal struggle for success [Diary]

[Warrior-MonkParticipant 21]

We all talk very much about the benefits of being MGTOW, which include higher personal achievements. Our freedom from distractions and false goals gives us an ability to concentrate on really important things, and achieve greater success. I strongly believe that positive achievements are the main thing in my life, because it’s the only thing that makes me truly happy.
I’m an ascetic person: I don’t do drugs, don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke, don’t eat high-sugar and junk food, don’t watch series, news etc., don’t play video games, don’t watch porn, don’t have sex, don’t masturbate, have no addiction to social networks. And I want to live my whole life like this. Because I know that all these “pleasures” are basically drugs, the “pleasure” some day expires and everything a person has in the end – hard withdrawal symptoms and a life ruined. So I desire only one sort of pleasure – when you are proud of what you achieve in real life, and everything else I reject.
Well, now up to the point. Recently, I’ve become more free than ever, and can’t wait to put everything I know to work. But I still need some discipline to overcome my natural laziness and instincts which pull me back. I need to keep an honest account of what I do every single day – to be sure that I don’t waste my time. So this is gonna be kind of a “diary”, every day I’ll give an account of real accomplishments. I don’t require much attention, just the feeling that anyone of you can read my writings would be quite enough. The people who currently surround me do not share my values, so I do it here in order not to feel completely alone during the process of overcoming obstacles.

Well, I’m a university student who lives in Moscow and studies science. I’m going to put very much effort to my studies, but in the first place it’s quite necessary to get prepared for a conference which will be held on Friday. I have to write an article of 10 pages in a pair of days, and it has to be a rather decent one. That’s the main thing for the next couple of days, but in general I need to study hard at university, also to learn English better, to advance in web design and go in for sports. Not everything in the same time, but eventually. I have great plans for my further future, but that’s enough for today, I guess. Feel free to participate and ask questions, if you want. Due to the lack of time, I’ll give all answers once per day. Or you may just walk by, if you want.
Good luck to everyone,
May you always be happy

In the English language, there is a saying that you wish to not be high on drugs, but you wish to be high on life. That is what you wish to do basically. To overcome laziness, I recommend that you should do things in like one hour spurts because you will get more sh*t done in the least amount of time since you are going to be industrious when you do work since you are going to be so focused. Also, one audio tape by a man named tony robbins suggested that in order for you to start doing sh*t to begin with, that you need some sort of cue for you to do before doing something. As you do the cue, you are going to start doing stuff right away without even debating to yourself if you should do it or not. It could be from just twitching your fingers or even just saying in your head “let’s just get this over with” before you actually start doing something. I hope I am of help because this stuff has worked for me. Remember, brilliance is all about the state of mind.

Welcome Warrior Monk,
Post away, I’ll read it.
I used to teach English to new Canadians and I can tell you this. If your English gets much better, some of us will have to go back to school to keep up.

Wow you are really hardcore.
There is a saying: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
I struggle with lack of motivation and laziness big time too (and always been)
I am an information junkie, so getting informed about stuff is what I do all day. To the point where I think it becomes somewhat destructive. But quitting is for quitters
Welcome!

Thanks to everyone, I really appreciate your kind words, as well as the advice. I haven’t posted anything here for a really long time now, so this post is going to be a rather long one. Looking forward to a better frequency…
First my answers

Thank you for great help, I tried this strategy with spurts and cues. It really helped me to overcome my laziness in the very beginning, though in fact I couldn’t do it during the next pair of days following the initial post of this thread. I just understood that as long as the cue is at work, I’m obliged to really get s~~~ done, and in the first place I was afraid of this responsibility. But at least I could keep myself free from doing anything wrong, so eventually I became able to overcome the first obstacles, help to the cues and spurts. And now I don’t even need this strategy very much, ’cause the fear diminished, I just do things and that’s it.

Thanks, I know my English is not very bad, but for professional reasons I really have to achieve Proficiency level, to pass my TOEFL exams with a score above 100, and it’s not an easy task. Also I just love this language 🙂

Welcome!

I used to be an information junkie, too. I learned from experience how much it sucks. News is a part of my job, to be honest, and so I try to implement professional approach whenever possible. It helps sometimes, because studying and creating news is hard work, in comparison with just consuming, so the initial intention to read news expires. The same with social networks. It’s all the plague of 21st century in my opinion, and we have to fight back.

Well, back to my current life. I was able to overcome the initial laziness, and in a pair of days I wrote a scientific article for the conference. It was a huge win, because not long ago ‘red pill rage’ made it difficult for me to even leave my bed in the morning, and now I’m starting to deal with really important tasks.
So, I made a speech during the conference. It wasn’t good enough in my opinion, since I failed to repeat it enough times beforehand. Also the material was I assume a bit ‘boring’ to listeners. The goal was to get published in a scientific magazine. Don’t know right now what their decision will be.

I’ve also decided to move from a dormitory I live in now to a better appartment. It will cost money, but the comfort is what concerns me more. Now I spend 1,5 hours to get to university, that’s unacceptable. Tomorrow will be seeing what they have to offer.

Today’s story with some bitch… I was waiting for a train when a good-looking girl approached and greeted me. I said I didn’t know her, but she told me she was from the same faculty as me. When the train arrived, she offered to sit together, well I agreed. Then, after a bit of talk, for some unknown reason she told me about her boyfriend and even showed a picture of him. After that she was too busy messaging her friends on facebook, so I quietly leaved her, ’cause wasn’t at all intrested in further talk.

Thank you guys, for all this recent time I felt your support of my actions, and it was essential.

So goodbye, until next time!
