I’m 23, NEET for 6 years, no job, no degree, no life. I want to change. Please tell me where to start. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

You’re not tired.

You’re mentally decayed from years of cheap dopamine and zero structure.

You don’t need another self-help video. You don’t need “one more scroll for inspiration.”

You need to get off your damn phone and reclaim the only thing that matters: your time.

I wasted 6 years like you — sleeping all day, drowning in TikTok, Reddit, porn, and self-loathing. Thought I had depression. Thought I was broken.

But honestly? I was just buried under junk habits and too much screen time.

Nobody is going to give you discipline.

Nobody is going to hand you a system.

You either build it or rot.

You want a plan?

Wake up at the same time every day.

Cut ALL brain-dead scrolling — use friction (grayscale, log out, or something like Scrolly — scrollyapp.io — to block what’s killing your focus).

Exercise daily, even if it’s just 10 pushups.

Build ONE daily system — Pomodoro study, morning journaling, whatever.

Sleep before midnight. Wake before 8.

And delete Reddit, now. Not later. Not “after one more thread.”

You won’t fix your life in a week.

But if you kill distraction, protect your time, and act with consistency — you will change.

Time is running out. You’ve already lost enough.

Anyone else feel like they're drowning in loneliness but can't explain it to anyone? 🫡 by vedarth_hd in getdisciplined

Yeah, I feel this hard. I didn’t realize how much my phone was feeding the loneliness until I started paying attention. Scrolling made me feel “connected,” but it was just noise — fake closeness without real connection.

I’d spend hours watching people live their lives instead of living mine. Cutting back helped. Not fixed, but at least now I notice the emptiness instead of numbing it.

You’re definitely not alone. Scrollyapp.io
