I'm combining another three days into one post. Lately, I've been struggling to maintain my routine, and it feels like several areas of my life are becoming difficult to manage at the same time.

I'm trying to stay hopeful, but honestly, I'm finding it hard.

The Last Three Days

I haven't gone for morning runs or swimming during these days. I did manage to work out on Day 63, but overall, my physical routine has been inconsistent.

I've also stopped posting content regularly for my personal brand. Most days, I've been procrastinating, feeling lazy, and putting things off instead of following through on the plans I made.

My compulsive habits haven't improved much either. I've talked about wanting to change them several times, but I still haven't made the consistent progress I hoped for.

It's frustrating to keep recognising the same problems without seeing enough change in my behaviour.

My First Interview

Yesterday, on Day 64, I attended my first interview.

I feel like I could have performed better, but it's done now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a positive response.

I also received information about another interview being scheduled, although I haven't received the confirmation email yet. Hopefully, that comes through soon.

Regardless of the outcome, I'm glad that I'm getting interview opportunities. I've been looking for a job, and this is a step forward.

At the same time, it made me realise how much more preparation I need. I want to improve my technical knowledge, communicate my experience more confidently, and be better prepared for the next opportunity.

I can't change how I performed in the interview yesterday, but I can use the experience to prepare better for the next one.

I Need to Get Back to Studying

One of my biggest priorities right now is completing my institutional exams and earning my course certificate.

The problem is that I haven't studied consistently for a long time. Now, even sitting down and concentrating on a topic feels difficult.

I know I need to study, but getting started and staying focused have become challenges of their own.

Still, I can't keep waiting until I feel motivated or until my concentration magically improves. I need to start with manageable study sessions and gradually rebuild the habit.

Completing my exams and finishing the course are important steps for me, and I don't want to keep postponing them.

Financial Pressure and Comparison

Another thing that's been weighing on me is my financial situation.

I managed to save some money this week, but I had to combine those savings with money borrowed to pay the interest on a loan. So, even though I made an effort to save, it doesn't feel like I'm getting ahead.

It's difficult to feel financially secure when you're trying to manage expenses, debt, and the uncertainty of finding a better job.

Sometimes, I look at my friends and other people around me and see them moving forward in their lives. Meanwhile, I feel like I'm struggling just to maintain my current position.

I know comparing my progress with everyone else's isn't helpful, but it's difficult not to do it sometimes.

When several things go wrong at once, it's easy to start feeling as though nothing is working out.

Right now, I'm dealing with career uncertainty, financial pressure, unfinished exams, inconsistent routines, and habits I haven't been able to change. It's a lot to carry, and I won't pretend that I'm feeling positive about everything.

What I Need to Do Now

I can't solve every problem immediately, but I need to stop letting everything overwhelm me to the point where I avoid doing anything.

For now, I want to focus on a few priorities:

• Career: Prepare properly for upcoming interviews and continue applying for suitable jobs.
• Studies: Start studying consistently again and work towards completing my remaining exams.
• Finances: Understand my current obligations and make careful decisions instead of relying on borrowed money to manage recurring expenses.
• Health: Return to physical activity gradually and avoid aggravating my leg injury.
• Personal habits: Continue working on reducing compulsive behaviours and reclaiming the time and attention they consume.
• Personal brand: Resume posting content instead of abandoning it whenever my routine slips.

I don't expect to fix all six areas at once. I need to take them one at a time and make measurable progress.

My Takeaway

I'm disappointed that I'm not where I hoped I would be by this point in the challenge. I thought I would have developed more discipline and built a stronger routine by now.

But I also know that feeling disappointed in myself won't automatically change anything.

I need to take responsibility for my decisions without treating every setback as proof that I'm incapable of improving.

My first interview is one step forward. The savings I managed to make, even though they were offset by financial obligations, show that I'm still trying. And the fact that I can identify the areas where I'm struggling gives me a starting point for making changes.

These things don't solve my problems, but they remind me that my situation isn't necessarily fixed.

Day 62–64/90 complete.

I have 26 days left in this challenge.

I don't know how everything will turn out. I hope the interview goes well, I hope another opportunity comes through, and I want to finish my course and improve my financial situation.

But I need to do more than hope.

For the remaining days, I want to focus on taking small, consistent actions even when I'm struggling, instead of waiting for life to get easier before I start moving forward.

I'm not where I want to be yet. I just need to keep working towards getting there.

Not every day is going to be a productive training day.

Sometimes work runs late, sleep is poor, or you simply don't have the energy for your planned session.

That's where a home gym or a few basic pieces of equipment can be useful: a short mobility session, a few controlled sets, or a brief workout instead of abandoning movement altogether.

But there's also a difference between maintaining a habit and forcing yourself to train when you genuinely need rest.

What's your definition of a non-zero workout? Do you have a simple 5–10 minute fallback routine, or do you handle low-energy days differently?

Today I did a lot. Tomorrow is important. I have A LOT to do.

Tomorrow:

1. Finish or do my part in the economics presentation—it’s crucial, because the deadline is on Friday, and it’s also the deadline for our project.
2. Do my part in the project and start researching how to make a financial model!! Otherwise, I won’t have time later.
3. Make economics notes.
4. Rest PROPERLY for about half an hour, or I will go crazy.

Not much happening today. Spent almost the whole day at the airport trying to get home. I spent the night there and wasn’t able to sleep. Feeling like a zombie lol.

Today I spent the entire day travelling to France just to pick up a special herb medicine designed to help my father fight the pancreatic cancer he’s dealing with. Even though the odds of it actually working are low, I did it because he wanted to give it a try. Flight got delayed several times which caused me to have to rebook my return ticket to the next day. Didn’t get much done today.

Anyone wanted to join me in this challenge of instagram in the role of competitor or Rival. Just to make it more exciting or competitive

https://www.reddit.com/r/NonZeroDay/s/qSRlUw3UAJ

Upload daily screenshot like that and work done at that day regarding it in chat with me

Right now it is Just the initiator further more rules will be made if multiple people wanted to join

Whoever joins is definitely a great friend but regarding the challenge we are only competitors who upload their extraordinary Targets daily in chat and work insanely everyday to accomplish them rather than sharing advices to each other and helping each other in growing like a coach

Why you don't want coach friend?

So that in a day, we play to compete and win in our decided targets or goals rather than to teach each other how to grow

By the way I am great friend and competitor so if you join you will surely going to feel great competition from my side and hence we both will grow insanely fast for sure

Modifications are always welcome but currently this is what I think that can bring insane growth while remaining in the less encouraging different places physically

Today I actually did stuff, and we started working on a case with the team—and I actually like it. I want to win. I’m kinda proud of myself. Thanks, me :)

Tomorrow:

1. Wake up at 8:40 (it’s crucial, or I won’t have time to do my part in the case).
2. In the metro, revise the tasks and prepare for the quiz.
3. Make a plan for how to do my economics homework and maybe find resources. Decide how we will do it. Text a girl.
4. Start learning how to make financial calculations for the case based on a textbook.
5. Go to sleep right after the call.

I am done with addictions i.e smoking , I have done non zero days before but never with integrity, this time I want to start everything from scratch.

The situation I am in is better than before, I have a job in hand, but I'm not satisfied by it, I have screenwriting scripts in my hand to work on, I want to decide What's best for me by end of this year.

Today I want to read for an hour ( letters to a young poet ).

Upskill myself in the domain I'm working on.

Start focusing on the script I have in hand, which deals with an alcoholic accepting his addiction and paving a way to experience life without substances.

Wish me luck, I'll try to as honest as possible to see my life clearly.

Woke up early today to work. Working as a baker on a Sunday while fasting completely drained me. Coming home I took a very long rest which is why I wasn’t able to complete my walk. But I love the grind and I look forward to a new week where I can do better and see what works better for me.

Saturday, Oct 24

1. Sleep ❌️

(Goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00)

Went to bed at ~05:09 – woke up at 10:31

Sleep duration: ~5 hours 20 minutes

Sleep quality: 1 out of 3 (felt quite energetic)

Running: ~01:30 – 02:30 AM

Last meal: ~5:50PM

👹 Mistake: running too late; didn’t spend enough time analyzing notes from previous days—doing so would have actually helped me develop the flexible mindset I’m striving for.

1. Nutrition: ❌️ (Goal: eat healthy food first, then sweets/baked goods) — one meal lacked any healthy components.

2. Physical activity: ✅️ (at least 30 minutes of walking; 293rd day of running)

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day dedicated to the project (Ph+Bl) + time set aside for unforeseen circumstances

🗳 Result: ❌️

Speed ​​of getting started on tasks: average

Takeaway for the day: for some reason, I felt quite energetic and managed my tasks well (though they didn’t involve any significant cognitive load)

Friday, Oct 23

1. Sleep ❌️

(Goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00)

Went to bed at ~04:45 – 09:40, 11:05

+ 40 min nap

Sleep duration: ~7 hours

Sleep quality: 1 out of 3

Running: ~03:05 – 03:50 AM

Last meal (dinner): ~18:50

👹 Mistake: affected by lack of sleep and late-night running

1. Nutrition: ✅️ (Goal: eat healthy food first, then sweets and flour-based items)

2. Physical activity: ✅️ (walking for at least 30 minutes; day 293 of running)

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day on the project (Ph+Bl) + time allocated for unforeseen circumstances

🗳 Result: ❌️

Speed ​​of getting started on tasks: average

Takeaway for the day: I began re-reading the book "The 12 Week Year" to understand where I’ve gone wrong. I also found some goals I had set 10 years ago; on one hand, this inspired me to revise my objectives and learn from past mistakes, but on the other, I still lack clarity and confidence. Perhaps a reflection journal will help with this—I also need some quiet time away from social media

Thursday, Oct 22

1. Sleep ❌️

(Goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00)

Went to bed at ~05:30 – 11:30

Sleep duration: ~6 hours

Sleep quality: 1 out of 3

Running: ~03:10 – 03:50

Last meal: ~6:50 PM

👹Mistake: Lack of sleep and a late-night run took their toll—I felt anxious and was in a bad mood. It would have helped to notice this sooner, go to bed earlier, and focus on relaxing before sleep.

1. Nutrition: ✅️ (Goal: eat healthy food first, then sweets and baked goods)

2. Physical activity: ✅️ (at least 30 minutes of walking; day 292 of running)

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day dedicated to the project (Ph+Bl) + time set aside for unforeseen circumstances

🗳 Result: ❌️

Task initiation speed: average

Conclusion for the day: fatigue accumulated, which turned into anxiety - it would help me to notice this in time so as not to get stuck unnecessarily (I got myself worked up)

Today I joined the team!! And signed up for a championship!! Yey! Didn’t do any homework :)

Tomorrow:

1. Send a message about the certificate.
2. Book an appointment with the doctor.
3. Find the lectures.
4. BUY a GPT subscription!
5. Start preparing for the quiz.
6. Start working on the case.

Thanks for the encouragement—it really warms my heart to see the feedback

Wednesday, Oct 21

(Goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00)

Went to bed at ~ 05:20 – 11:05

Sleep duration: ~ 5.75 hours

Sleep quality: 1 out of 3

Running: ~ 04:10 – 04:50

Last meal (dinner): ~ 18:50

👹 Mistake: I didn’t track my total sleep duration — I’ve become more emotionally unstable, which affects my overall results.

1. Nutrition: ✅️ (Goal: eat healthy food first, then sweets and flour-based items)

2. Physical activity: ✅️ (at least 30 minutes of walking; 291st day of running)

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day dedicated to the project (Ph+Bl) + time set aside for unforeseen circumstances (force majeure)

🗳 Result: ❌️

Speed ​​of getting started on tasks: average

Takeaway for the day: I need to reread the book "The 12 Week Year" in order to correct some mistakes

Saturday : 24th ; went to ex-colleagues wedding . an adventure tbh , two trains to reach , one bus to return back home , a very long journey .

Sunday : 25th ; barely slept the night , returned back home , had some rest , packed up & good to go for the flight .

probably not gonna journal daily for next 5 days since I'm away , keeping a very minimal log & will update together on next Friday .

I'm combining four days into one post again. This is the longest gap I've had in a while, and honestly, I'm disappointed with how these days went.

I'm almost 70% through this 90-day challenge, yet I keep falling into the same patterns. I make plans, start the day with good intentions, and then lose hours doing things that don't move my life forward.

Here's what happened.

Day 59 — Another Day Lost

I had another family event and woke up late. I didn't do any physical activities that day.

The only productive thing I can clearly remember doing was practising LeetCode. Apart from that, I spent a lot of time falling back into compulsive sexual habits and wasting hours on unnecessary activities.

It's frustrating when I look back at an entire day and struggle to identify anything meaningful I accomplished.

Day 60 — A Little Physical Activity, but No Real Progress

I didn't go for a morning run, but I did a workout at home and went swimming.

Those were positive steps, but the rest of the day followed the same pattern as before. I spent far too much time caught up in sexual urges and masturbation instead of focusing on my priorities.

This has become more than an occasional distraction. It's a recurring behaviour that's taking up time and making it harder for me to concentrate on the things I actually want to achieve.

I keep telling myself I need to get control of it, but I haven't been consistent in changing the behaviour.

Day 61 — A Personal Best and Another Injury

Day 61 started on a better note.

A friend was back in our hometown, so we went for a morning run together. I pushed myself and managed to achieve a personal best over 5 km, running around 6 km in total.

I was happy with the achievement, but pushing myself that hard seems to have aggravated my right-leg injury again.

Despite that, I went swimming too.

Unfortunately, the rest of the day wasn't productive. I fell back into the same habits, including spending time chatting with women I didn't know online and getting caught up in compulsive sexual behaviour.

I want to be clear that talking to people isn't the problem. The problem is when I'm using those interactions and other distractions to escape my responsibilities, and they end up consuming hours of my day.

I need to understand what's triggering this cycle and take practical steps to break it.

Day 62 — Forced Rest, but No Real Recovery

Because of the injury, I didn't do any physical activities on Day 62. I spent most of the day in bed.

I also continued falling into the same habits instead of using the downtime constructively.

One thing I did manage to accomplish was recording and publishing a personal branding video. I'd been procrastinating on it and making excuses, but I eventually got it done.

I'm glad I followed through on that commitment. Even when I don't feel motivated, I want to keep building my personal brand and sharing my progress.

However, one completed task doesn't erase the hours I wasted elsewhere.

I also need to take my injury seriously. I've aggravated my right leg again after pushing too hard, and I don't want to keep repeating this cycle of running, getting injured, and rushing back before I've recovered.

The Pattern I Need to Break

Looking at these four days together, I can see how repetitive things have become.

• I keep wasting time on compulsive habits, even when I know the consequences.
• I use distractions to escape tasks that feel difficult or uncomfortable.
• I make excuses and postpone important work until it becomes stressful.
• I push myself physically, sometimes ignoring the need for proper recovery.
• I keep promising that tomorrow will be different without consistently changing what I do.

I'm not writing this to beat myself up. I'm writing it because I need to stop pretending that this is just a temporary bad phase.

I've already recognised these problems several times during this challenge. Recognition alone isn't enough if my behaviour remains the same.

I need to make practical changes: keep distracting websites blocked, stop taking my phone into situations where I usually lose hours, create a clear plan for the day, and start working on important tasks before I get pulled into distractions.

If these habits continue to feel difficult to control despite my efforts, I also need to be willing to seek professional support rather than treating everything as a simple lack of discipline.

What Comes Next?

I have 28 days left in this challenge.

I want to focus on recovering properly, improving my AI/ML skills, building projects, applying for jobs, practising LeetCode, and getting back to reading consistently.

I don't expect to fix everything in one day. But I need to stop allowing one unproductive stretch to turn into four wasted days.

I also need to stop chasing personal bests at the expense of recovery. My goal is to build a sustainable routine, not repeatedly injure myself trying to make up for lost time.

Day 59–62/90 complete.

Four more days are gone. I'm disappointed with how I used much of that time, but I still have an opportunity to make the remaining days different.

I don't need another promise that tomorrow will be perfect. I need to make better decisions when the familiar distractions show up.

That's the real work I need to do now.
