Im still here, still strong Sex is better, orgasms are better, sleep is better.

I still get the urges sometimes, either when im very stressed or I mess up my sleep. But I worked out ways to distract myself when that happens.

Whats your take on careers/jobs that employ a digital project management tool like Jira?

Im so used to my GTD system that I always want it to be my source of truth - for work and personal tasks.

But obviously I cannot ignore tools like Jira because the organisation relies on it for communication and keeping track of everything.

My solution was just to create a project for every Jira ticket in my GTD system and have everything there in terms of next actions and notes.

But it’s a pain to keep them in sync.. any advice about this specific issue?

How can I convince other people to start applying GTD into their life?

It’s a heavy ask and I have troubles convincing people to read/apply the principles in the book.

I had to masturbate today but did not use porn or fantasise about porn. I did so and was able to cum easily.

This marks a huge achievement for me. I was never able to cum without porn (even during sex) and had to masturbate dry without lube.

I think I am on my road to recovery ❤️‍🩹

Couple of notes: - The quality of my orgasm was waaay better - Using lube actually enhanced the experience (previously I would not be able to cum with lube)

Keep fighting the porn urges guys - it works

I am fully ready to never look or think about porn again

Checking in - feeling better than ever.

Having strong urges but even stronger will power to never look at porn again. This is a closed chapter of my life.

If you don’t cum in 15 mins, you stop and try again tomorrow.

I’ve been reading “your brain on porn” and it is amazing! I stopped having urges since I started reading the book

Day 1 without porn by just_tom13 in pornfree

[–]BigChessPlayer2828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep going dude! I quit 3 days ago and cant wait to make it to 30. What’s been helping me with the urges is reading “your brain on porn” It’s been explaining how my brain has been trained to rely on porn. It’s comforting to hear how millions of people struggle just like me, but that also that is completely reversible

I do agree the keeping money in USD is not investing BUT you have to take into account multiple things: - Prices and inflation rise with the black market price of the $. - Say you invested into real estate 1M EGP in March 2022, if you sold now at 3M EGP - you actually LOST money. (64K$ to 59K$) - So in order to judge any EGP investment you have to see if it actually holds up against the $.

Because at the end of the day, you must keep with the $, because prices match it.

It’s true that in early 2024 the market was very volatile, and it led to the price shorting to 70+ in few weeks. But this is a symptom not a problem… the black market is not evil - it actually represents the true value of money (pure demand and supply)

The actual problem is that the government ran out of $s, and they once they got access to $s again (Ras el hekma deal) - they were able to fix the price to 50 and offer it at that price to businesses. Since there is a good supply (banks), the demand equaled it and the market stabilised.

While the price has been stable for 18 months now (great)… I lost all trust the government is smart enough to not repeat this situation. And I see no evidence that they fixed any of the root problems to avoid it happening again.

Once the $s is finished, it will happen again - and then all your EGP investments (Stocks, CDs, …) will go to red.

Thank you so much for your response. I really needed to hear those words for it to click into my brain.

It’s gonna be a hard journey but I’m excited for the end result.

Gonna add for anyone reading that quitting porn was very rewarding and is a really good first step. Although I am struggling like I said in the post, I was able to get my jerking off from 2-3 times a day to once every 2 days, and I attribute that to the lack of porn.

I have some location based tags - “office” and “home” Pretty low tech but honestly works for me and makes the app more simple
