I just endured my first day of hardcore monk modr and it was fucking brutal.

I never realized before how much I relied on the constant distractions of videogames, TV, drugs and masturbating.

It was fucking genuinely disturbing for me.

Every time I'd get a little bit bored I'd think of something I could do to "pass the time", essentially until I go to sleep but all that came to mind wwre the things I was trying to avoid.

I mean, I distracted myself with self-improvement tasks like exercise, guitar and reading but I found that I still had loads of time and didn't feel very tired or satisfied.

Every little thing feels like a chore to me and I want to shut off my brain but I am determined to develop self-discipline.

I know over time that this will ease, but if anyone has successfully monk moded before, can you give me some helpful tips?

Again, thanks for existing trp.
