No Movies, No TV Challenge - 12th June 2026 to 18th June 2026 Indefinite
Not a lot just the fact that I have known myself in the past just focussed on whatever work I have been doing so much that I literally forget everything, both with MTFi YouTube Channel, or, when I finally got my developer job, or when I was preparing for engineering entrance examination while keeping 80% in the first college.
And, I just sort of miss that now.
And with my current job hunt and youtube channels and what not, it's like having a self-employed business, I have to get up myself to move this forward. There is no one else coming to pick me up for this.
In fact that was the reason I actually didn't bother looking for another job after my last one. I just hate that whole corporate culture, but that's neither here nor there. I need to do something right now & even though I already stopped gaming and Social media, I think this needs to go much further than that.
Man! I really honestly thought that this challenge will also be as easy as the no social media and no gaming challenge but Jesus Christ! this was so much worse. And not by the seventh day I am starting to see how bad I was addicted to it.
Earlier I would watch a movie or a TV clip thinking just something to enjoy but now I am starting to see how I used it to postpone the inner voice. I didn't really see it before this challenge.
So earlier it used to be:
Now that I have stopped social media, gaming, tvs and movies, I have no other choice but to confront whatever part of me needs attention.
And I only felt that in the 8th day of the challenge. Oh yeah it was difficult NOT to watch tv/movies but on the 8th day, the deep feeling inside boiled up suddenly to the surface and I feel like utter shit.
Since I am a madman who beat Headless with 50 perfect deflects in a row in Sekiro, I am continuing this challenge for as long as I can.
A week over: It's only started to get difficult so let's extend this!
Feel something uncomfortable → Watch Movie/TV/Social Media to postpone it→ Forget about digging deep and finding out why I was feeling uncomfortable in the first place
Day 9: The thoughts are dark!
I guess that's why everyone wants to keep themselves busy. Because if you don't, the thoughts are DARK, and I mean dark.
