AFK's Month Long Test of Will

[AFK Protector]

AFK's Test of Will List
I’m starting a pact with myself for one month, starting from today, just to see if I can actually pull it off. This will be a test of will, a test of discipline, and of self-control. Here are the criteria:

- No masturbation/porn (day 37 in progress as of today).
- No junk food at all for a month (exception = diet ginger ale).
- Follow Daily Workout Routine.
- Get at least six hours of sleep everyday.
- Do all homework first before turning on the computer.
- No AIM chatting.
- No forum browsing except to update this.
- No computer games or video games.

>>> Hopefully, after 1 month, this routine will become a habit and I will be have great study, eating, sleeping, and overall living habits. Good luck to all. This is my log.

>>> AFK's Test of Will begins Thursday - 1.27.05.

 

[Mr. Debonaire]

you can DO IT!!!!

I'm to start this in a week after my exams, so i can do ALL of it, not just half

cheers bud

 

[A&F Brand Cologne]

why do you want to do this? doesn't it just suck the fun out of life?

 

[AFK Protector]

No. I seek to have control in my life. The more control, the better I manage my time, and therefore I will have more time for fun things. So this actually results in MORE fun.

 

[Chilli_pimp]

be aware of all the wet dreams ur going to have... add, "clean bedsheets every week"

good luck!

 

[Mr. Debonaire]

lmao

wait....

do wet dreams count as masturbation?

 

[AFK Protector]

No. If I don't touch myself and look at porn I am not going to count it as masturbation. Dreams I cannot contorl. It's like saying if I get a hardon I'm masturbating. So no.

btw, I played a lot of games and did a lot of stuff today. But keep in mind, this starts tomrorow. So I am saying good bye.

GOOD BYE!

**COMPLETE**
- No masturbation/porn (D-38 Complete).
- No junk food at all for a month (exception = diet ginger ale).
- Follow Daily Workout Routine.
--> Weight training: Quads, Calves, Hamstrings
--> Elliptical, 15 min. (HIIT)
- Get at least six hours of sleep everyday.
- Do all homework first before turning on the computer.
- No AIM chatting. (I used AIM, but it was for school purposes and I wasted no time chatting or idling)
- No forum browsing except to update this. (omg I am like checking this 5 times because it is the only thing I can check. BTW, the comp is on now because finals just ended and I have no homework. I wanted to check the H&F forum...but I can't. Not for a month lol)
- No computer games or video games on school days (2 hours max on weekends total/days off). (I played for 1.5 hours today. That leave me 30 minutes for the rest of the weekend. It's going to be hard)

EDIT: I've editted my gaming ban to apply to school days only. On days off and weekends I can play, but only for 2 hours max total. Meaning, if it is a 3 day weekend, I can only play 2 hours max for all 3 days combined; not 2 hours per day. Ok now this should be much easier. Whew. I almost went insane reading about those Palestinians.

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

the porn masturbation thing is pretty cool. Increase your prospects of having a boner like every 5 seconds.

 

[TheCalmGuy]

Good luck AFK I will start a Will Test aswell.

- I'm gonna do my homework everyday BEFORE i turn on the computer and in 2 months I will increase my GPA from 3.3 to 3.5!

 

[AFK Protector]

Thanks guys. Day 1 has been updated as of 12:52 PM Central. I encourage you all to start your own threads...and START SMALL!! Unlike me...who started too big, and will have a hard ass time sticking with the plan. Well, I'm going to go read some newspapers now, because that's like the only thing I can do. LOL

 

[AFK Protector]

Sorry for post-whoring, but I just realized....
















I CAN'T DO SH1T!!!

 

[A&F Brand Cologne]

yeah, exactly. I knew you wouldn't be able to do this, not because you lack the willpower, but because the plan would make you a boring, old person.

video games aren't bad. they don't make you introverted and nerdy. they're good when you have nothing else to do and if you enjoy them. the same goes for AIM, although dropping that is more understandable.

anyway, nobody will judge you if you edit your original plan.

Ok I'm changing it. No gaming on schooldays.

this was slightly discussed, but does not masturbating increase your testosterone or anything to make you either more appealing to women or make it easier to interact around them or something?

Uh...yeah something like that. I think it definitely increases testosterone and your horniness level so you wanna talk to women more and stuff. But here that isn't the point. I just wanna control myself and be free of the limitations of pr0n and appeals of lust. That way I have total control over myself and am waaayy less inclined to give into a woman just because of her looks because I can resist it. You might wanna get a different source on the testosterone business though...I'm just repeating what I've read here.

Yea it increases your confidence, assertiveness, and pheromone levels. Still, if you're ugly fugly, you could abstain for a yr and nothing will happen . It feels good when you hold off though....so much damn energy. IMO, that in itself is worth it.


AFK protector,

you can do it man. Up your gaming time to 4 hrs a wk and relax a little on the diet and I think it'll definitely be doable. You'll find youself with a ton of free time to go chill with friends/girls.

 

[AFK Protector]

Thanks California Love. You've always been an inspiration to me man.

Update: Day 1 certainly was met with many challenges, but it is over now. Technically the day isn't over, but I'm going to sleep so basically I can't mess anything up anymore. Thanks to all those who have responded. It truly makes it easier knowing you have an army of DJs behind you.

Sup AFK, nice work you crazy kid. But one thing I noticed is that you contradict yourself in your thread. You said that you want to control your life so that you can have more time for fun things, but then you go and read newspapers?!?! That's crazy!!! I actually don't think video games, forum browsing, or even AIM are all that bad, unless it becomes an addiction.

Another thing is that this is a test of your will, so if you change your plan or if you fail one part of the test, you should start over, just like in the masturbation thread. That sucks a ****, but I think if you accomodate, it makes the test easier, and if you fail but still go on then it becomes okay to fail. And it also takes away from the satisfaction you get at the end of the test. So if you change it, make sure that it's something that is difficult but that you know you can handle, and change it for good. Good luck man, late.
