Remove Fillers from your life

I get what OP is saying. People do definitely need to work on limiting the high dopamine distractions that can hinder progress and motivation. Time seemed to move in a slower motion before smartphone internet and fast paced 24/7 social media. Before then you at least had to have access to a laptop or desktop computer and so most people were more focused without constant distractions at their fingertips. Now people are terribly addicted to screens which can also lead to more junk food/snacking and so forth, along with people less motivated to get out when they have an entire world online.

Good post but including music and sports is total nonsense imo.

In general, what you're saying makes sense. Masturbation combined with porn can definitely be a bad habit — I get that. But that doesn't apply to me, as I don't watch porn and only rely on my own fantasies. Even if I stopped that, it wouldn't help me get more women. It would just make me hornier, which is an obstacle in itself.

I'm already 40 — the golden days when potential partners were everywhere are gone. Dating at my age isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. And for a marathon, I need a clear mind."

It’s interesting that you put sports and music in the same category as junk food and masturbation but do not cite those things that are not “fillers”

More importantly, you don’t define what a “filler” is. I presume a “filler” fills things but what? Time? The vacuum created by isolation.

For what it’s worth, and I think I speak for many, I would prefer to live a life filled with music than one with a relationship but no music.

Of course, I would chose friends, family, wife, and kids above music but you are not suggesting that: you are advocating eliminating music to motivate you to get off your ass to find a relationship.

That seems like the nuclear option.

The IFPA Global Study found that music is hugely important for our mental health and well-being, and that 71% of 43,000 people in 26 countries claimed music is important to their mental health.

Junk food?

Don’t think so.

Saving this stuff. Man it’s good. Never thought it this way but it’s kinda aligning with what I do

You’re going overboard but right message. I limit junk food and social media and I never watch porn like ever. But I listen to music all the time, and I occasionally do watch TV. Never an unhealthy amount but I do. And drinking alcohol is fine if in moderation too

Been able to cut off Porn/Jerk off, Alcohol, and Junk Food. Struggling with Sports and Social Media. I make money through sports betting and social media but for the amount of time i put into each the roi isn't worth it.

1,000% correct. "Addiction is the narrowing of things we take pleasure in." Remove the needless junk designed to give un-natural dopamine hits and have more time and energy (and a better functioning mind) to the things like money and quality women and your own healthy self interest that improve quality of life.

BUT I competely disagree with "remove music". Music can be motivational and inspirational. It's been a healthy part of human existence since we were living in caves. It's the wardrum beat, shaman chanting, 64 seat orchestras playing flawlessly together. It's especially helpful to ADHD people and entreprenuers (and not bad during sex either). I would dump most the pop music though.

For people saying "don't remove SPORTS" I'd say- if you're spending a bunch of time and giving fucks about someone ELSE playing what tend to be kids games- following stats, getting emotionally involved- then yes dump that shit. It takes away so much time and energy. You might as well be playing a bunch of video games. IF on the other hand you're actively partisipating in sports- and it's healthy for your mind and body- go for it.
