I'm entering monk mode in a few weeks when conditions are right. These are some core tenets I wish to adhere to:

  • increased lifting/fighting MMA
  • disciplined schedule
  • maximum sleep (8-9 hours)
  • limited alcohol/weed (once every few weeks, never excessively)
  • strict diet (no refined sugar, very limited carbs)
  • no social media (including dating apps)
  • reading core books (stoicism, manosphere related)
  • making music
  • meditation daily
  • journalling daily
  • focus on improving career
  • internalizing all RP tenets and ideology

The one thing I'm debating is whether or not to keep seeing plates and whether or not to pursue women. Should I pursue or not?

I'd appreciate some ECs or tenured RP posters to give some advice on this aspect and anything else they can think of.
