The "Fine Yourself!" Routine - Part 2

on

 The "Fine Yourself!" Routine in the previous post is promising. Putting it to yourself that you'll fine yourself if you commit unhealthy practices, is a great way of stopping yourself doing these practices.

Now I want to fine tune this a bit. There are levels of unhealthy practices. And sometimes, say you want to apply the routine to a Christmas holiday day (as a write this, it is Christmas), you'd want to allow more freedom with food and drink say.

So, for any day, work or non-work, we can pick a level(s) to which we need to operate in, without receiving a fine!

As always:

  • Work comes first!
  • Enjoy what you do!

Note: You can always make a note for what you want to do after 1800.

I bet £100 I can go until 1800 without doing any of the below:

Note: On a work-day, must be ready to start work before 0800 

  1. Level 1 (The Worst)
    1. Social Media: Discord, Twitter, Internet Forums...
  2. Level 2:
    1. Internet Shopping: Amazon, AutoTrader, Dakimakuras, Dolls, Pistonheads...
    2. Internet News: BBC...
    3. Internet Banking
  3. Level 3:
    1. Personal blogs (non-work related)
    2. Entertainments: Cinema, Music, TV, YouTube...
  4. Level 4:
    1. Breaking the 90-minute rule (90 minutes between drinks)
    2. Drinking drinks other than coffee, tea and water
    3. Eating anything except nuts (after breakfast)

Good Things To Do Which Won't Incur a Fine!

  • Working (includes work related blogs)
  • Exercise - Walking, Running, Workouts
  • Reading

Note: Taking photos is okay because daylight can make a big difference.
