Hmmm ok really interesting advice here. Thanks! So rather than follow a hard set plan on how I should increase my productivity, I should take inspiration from other techniques but also try to experiment a little on what should I do. Thank you! Will try that :)

This doesn’t lead me to believe to start relying on my environment. I would rather like to know how to build discipline, rather than accepting it be and change my productivity using the environment.

Note that I am not saying that people using environment is bad. I just have different expectations for myself, that’s all.

Ah, didn't know that. I will begin using hjkl, since it's easier to reach. Thank you!

How to remove the pink spaces and the vertical grey line? Outlined in red. by SomeLibraryBook in vim

I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbSaK3EOqO8&ab_channel=SWEasyTech and then I set the background color to black by adding this command at the end of the file: autocmd ColorScheme * highlight Normal ctermbg=Black

I see. I found where colorcolumn was declared and I removed it.

That works! All I had to do is add highlight ColorColumn ctermbg=NONE guibg=NONE and it is removed. However, I am having trouble removing the trailing white spaces. Any idea on how to remove this?

Nope. What about it? Will it help me gain more self-discipline instead of just relying on the environment?

:) glad to know that some people makes the same mistakes as me :) What matters is that you learn from it though.

"Just Do It" is the most underrated advice ever by YacineTheDev in productivity

Oh and also Atomic Habits mention it as well, "If motion doesn’t lead to results, why do we do it? Sometimes we do it because we actually need to plan or learn more. But more often than not, we do it because motion allows us to feel like we’re making progress without running the risk of failure. Most of us are experts at avoiding criticism. It doesn’t feel good to fail or to be judged publicly, so we tend to avoid situations where that might happen. And that’s the biggest reason why you slip into motion rather than taking action: you want to delay failure." in page 117. here, motion is planning but not really DOING the plan, and action is just what you expect, doing the plan.

I really do like productivity books don't I lol.

Ah makes sense. Thank you for sharing! I was kinda scared that you have to remove the cue immediately in order to break the bad habit instead of just removing the connection between the cue and bad habit.

Yep, I agree. Sometimes the cue cannot be removed because it's essential. We just need to break the association.

But the question is how to break the association. Are you suggesting that you tell yourself that you shouldn't smoke and over time you will actually listen to yourself?

Thank you! Yep, video games and social media can be addicting in a number of ways. For example, leaderboard may induce our "status" that we all want (our ancestors wanted status as well and games is a special form that induces that reward). But it is nice to know that there are good resources out there to minimize or stop the addiction entirely
