My last period of Monk Mode was only about a month. Over that time I made some pretty good changes, the effects of which, I feel every day. Mostly in my decision making and ability to push myself a little harder, but I want to go monk mode for a bit longer. I've hit the anger phase, the frustration phase, I don't even want to interact with women right now, but I need to keep myself from other distractions for a period of 6-8 months. I'm young and want to push myself to my limits, primarily in school, but the idea of attracting women is stuck in my head all the time. It keeps me from a real monk mode experience. Is it healthy to just use the anger to shut women out and not think about them at all? What are your tricks to staying motivated?

Sometimes I get frustrated by the idea that by grinding out my studies, I'm just becoming a boring guy, is that a flaw in my perceived paradigm, what's a good way to keep things on a broader perspective?

ANY advice is greatly appreciated. I am going to the gym, just started 3 days a week for the past well... week.
