I am probably one of the people that need to be forced to socialize because I don’t do it by my self enough

I think schools should give more control to the students about what and how they want to learn, I always hated it that they forced me to learn things I am not interested in and will probably never use in my life

cron job that launches the lock screen at the specified time and unlocks it later?

Is there a way to only allow changing it when entering a password (that is different from the user password)

Masturbation makes me very tired after I done it, so I don’t think I should do it when I still have something to do in the day.

But right before bedtime, it helps to get sleepier

Not for a single task but for an activity or a chain of activities that rely on each other and only make sense when I do them all after each other.

The biggest example of such a big activity chain in my life would be going to the gym: where the entire chain of activities (from getting ready for the Gym to coming home and showering after it) takes almost the whole day and if I know that I can’t just do it for 5 minutes.

It looks like most of these are not therapy services

I prefer Fedora over Ubuntu because they are more up to date and put Flatpak over Snap.

But the real reason I originally switched was that the Ubuntu installer crashed 5 times in a row and then I tried Fedora and liked it

It don’t have to be an app, I ask for online therapy in general

Germany

Yes, it would be much for fun in the long run. But for some reason this doesn’t change my behavior and I hate my self for this

I would like to have a god one day, but as long as I can’t even take care of my self, I don’t want a pet to be dependent on me taking care of it.

"Do you have anyone you can be accountable to? Sibling, friend, partner, etc that you trust? " I am living with my parents, and I am very ashamed things like my sleeping habits and always beeing late. But this doesn’t seam to help

I DO NOT want to live like this. The statement is only describing that the solution is not to only do things that are more fun

I remember from the time when I have last taken medication, that the effects is usually starting when tacking the pill in the beggining of the day, and then wear down at the end. But my problem is my biggest problem a during the end of the day.

I guess many of us can learn more from Minecraft then from school. Minecraft teached me basic principles of economy and bussines, when I was playing on server’s that had a big economy

When I can’t get off my phone, I switch the display from colour to greyscale, and about 15 minutes later it’s much easier to put the device down. NB make a shortcut so that it’s easy to change the colours without leaving the app you’re in.

I enabled this has an automated feature, but most of the time, I turn it off manually without thinking much about it

If an alarm is really important, I put the alarm clock on the other side of the room. Close enough that I can’t ignore it but far enough that I have to stand up and walk over to switch it off.

This could work if I put the alarm in a difficult to reach position, so I realy need to stop the current thing to reach it, and then it may be easier to start the next thing?

I combine activities to keep my brain sufficiently stimulated e.g. listen to a podcast or music while doing something repetitive. So when task switching, my 1st step is fun, deciding what I want to listen to.

I think listening to music could be a good task switcher, especially if the music is motivating

I try to avoid digital content that I identify as being addictive or very difficult to break out of. Natasha Dow Schüll defines what she calls the “ludic loop”, which is an activity that is solitary, doesn’t include natural breaks, doesn’t have a definite end, and has random rewards.

This definition seems to match on almost all digital activities?

I don’t think this is always possible. Researching something in the internet or playing a video game, will probably always be more interesting then to some necessary daily routines

Can I ask what medications you take?

“I also used cigarettes to ‘mark’ the transition between activities. They help, and also are rotten bad for your health, expensive, and stink like hell.” Do you think something more healthy, could also work? But it most be limited in time so it doesn’t become the next activity I can’t stop.

Disobeying my own schedules and reminders is one of things that I disrespect my self the most for, but I just can’t really figure out how to make my self obey the reminders.

I wish I was one of these people that have a relation to their reminders like the reminder is some military sergeant and you do what it says, without resisting the authority.
