30일 동안 5시 30분에 일어나서 습관을 바꿔봤습니다

One of the bad habits I have is unconsciously looking at my phone at any time, and it's a given that I do this for 1-2 hours before going to bed. But they say that looking at your phone before bed is bad for your eyes and concentration. (I really need to see just one more.) x10 But the real problem is that I keep doing it even though I know that. Since this bad habit has been going on for about 6 months now, I feel like my brain is gradually rotting. I was wondering how to fix such bad habits, and what I found is that I can cultivate good habits at the same time through... reading. It's really rare for me to buy a book just because the cover is pretty and then skip to chapter 1 (the part I read after a year). When a person suddenly changes, it usually means their time is almost up. To prevent that from happening, I will try to change gradually. There are various methods, but I will try to change these two things: my environment and my time patterns. I often found myself looking at my phone late at night, and that usually affected me the next day. So, I will put my phone on the desk before lying down in bed (a small change in my environment). That way, I won't have anything to look at, right? And I will try to wake up at 5:30 AM for 30 days. But why 5:30? If I change my wake-up time, which feels like the start of the day, won't my behavior patterns change accordingly? Of course, my willpower is important, but I haven't decided yet whether to exercise first or read a book in the morning. Tomorrow, I'll try exercising first. Then everyone, good night~ You too, good night. Ah, should I sleep for just 30 more minutes..? It's 5:30 and really bright outside. And it feels quite cool, so I think I should dress a bit warmer before going out; I might catch a cold. I think to achieve the desired results in life, it's important to develop good habits. To efficiently and quickly develop good habits, it seems helpful to think about the benefits that will come later rather than the immediate discomfort. In my case, I wanted to develop a habit of reading books, but I kept postponing it because I found it boring. Since it's a different activity, I try to think of the boring time as a peaceful time, and I believe that if I read, my concentration will improve. For goal setting, instead of saying "I will read a certain number of books in 30 days," I prefer to say "I want to become a person who reads books." But if I say I will read 10 books in 30 days, then there's a high possibility that I will read those 10 books in 30 days and not read any afterward. I don't think exercising in the morning suits me. I think reading a book is more efficient instead. Because originally it takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes to finish everything, right? But now it's been 1 hour... :/ I think it took about 40 minutes. It feels like I've wasted that 30 minutes. While I was preparing breakfast, I thought of another bad habit, which is always eating while looking at something. I keep scrolling down until something interesting comes up, and I don't eat until I'm done, and even after I'm done, I don't clean up right away and just keep watching. I think this is the trap of living in a studio apartment. Since there's no separation of space, I think it would be good to fix this too. I can just not look at it, so I'll throw my phone aside and close my laptop. I'll focus only on eating with it closed. I was really tired after exercising, but now I feel really good. I feel energetic since it's the first day, but I need some time to adjust. I'm tired, but I think I need to push through a little. But I think my face looks a bit puffy from waking up early. It's currently 8:02, and I think it took about 2 hours and 20 minutes to wake up, exercise, eat, and shower. And now, since I'm going to have lunch in about 3 or 4 hours, I'll try to read a book until then. The first day and the first week are important, so I think I need to be prepared to endure some discomfort in order to change my habits. If I only pursue comfort, I will become lazy and sluggish, so even if it's tough, I'll try to endure it. It's now 10:42 AM, and after a little over 2 hours, I started to feel a bit of a limit to my concentration. The reason I wake up early is not to endure or to do more things, but rather to change my habits. Waking up early was only for going to Coupang, but it's been a while since I last went there. It's 1:07. From the first day, I decided to cut everything off and just focus on reading. I thought it wouldn't be good later on, like the yo-yo effect of dieting, so I had some food and took a little break. And now, waking up at 5:30 on the first day, how does it feel? It feels a bit like I look cool, you know? ;)) It's 9:47 PM. This morning, I woke up, exercised, ate, took a shower, and had a short nap. Other than this time, I kept reading. To be honest, I want to lie down and watch YouTube right now, but I can't let myself fall apart on the first day, so I'll read a bit more before going to sleep. And tomorrow, instead of going out to exercise right away like today, I will read a book as soon as I wake up. (Me editing this: "Wow...") It seems like everything has its clear pros and cons. Exercising in the morning definitely wakes me up, but I feel tired when I come back. But right now... I'm really tired :-\ I'm lying in bed reading a lot, but if I lie down now, I think I'll fall asleep right away, so I'll sit at my desk and read until my concentration runs out. ~ "When you lack sleep, you're more likely to make mistakes, misjudge situations, and make inappropriate decisions." It's 9:39, and I've slept for about 7 hours. "You should get at least 8 hours of sleep every night..." So I'll take a nap for exactly 1 hour and then read again. Good morning, baby (?) It is 10:49. Now I'll eat, exercise, and read books like that. I can definitely feel my concentration improving after taking a nap. And the really decisive factor is that not looking at my phone before bed makes me feel clearer in my head already. After coming back from exercising, I showered and then did some studying for school, and continued reading books. And it's 10:04 now, it's time to sleep. And today, the phone was 23 minutes, and the sentence that I remember the most from what I read today is "If you practice consistently and intentionally, you can achieve anything." It's a bit of a cliché and something everyone knows, but I'll remind myself of it once more and move forward. Oh, and as you can see, I'm using a laundry rack as a phone holder. Now, tomorrow is a school day, and I will wake up at 5:30 again just like today. And tomorrow, let's wake up... first, let's wake up and take a look. I couldn't hear the alarm sound for a minute. I didn't mind getting up on my days off, but why do I hate getting up on school days? I got up... E... Huh? Well, I did get up, but it's the first period today, you know? Anyway, I have to leave early today, so I'll just go and do it! I have another bad habit related to my phone, which is that I unconsciously check my phone even when there are no notifications. So I think it would be good to put my phone in my bag and carry a book instead. Of course, I won't be reading while walking, but if something suddenly disappears from my hands, I might feel anxious without even realizing it. I carry it around as a way to manage my anxiety. And one of the benefits of waking up early is that when I take public transportation, there are usually not many people, so I can almost always get a seat. Of course, it may vary by region, but the weather has been nice lately, it's cool and relaxed. It's not easy to feel relaxed, is it? Everyone has a lot to do and is busy. But really, there's nothing special about relaxation. You can just wake up early and feel it in the morning. And I didn't know, but the school is having a festival. I have never participated in a festival during my time in college. Now that I'm in my fourth year, if I go, it really drains my energy, and when I come home, I have to sleep right away. I can

I have to sleep right away I can't do anything because all my energy is gone after that I'm trying to break bad habits, manage my phone time, and cultivate good habits like reading, but I don't feel any significant changes yet

But I definitely feel like my concentration has improved already I think it's because my mind feels clearer, but I'm not sure if it's due to reading, going to bed early and waking up early, or managing my phone time;

it seems like these three factors are working together, but I still don't know I still have puffiness in my face and dark circles when I wake up in the morning I think this is unavoidable For now, the class is over from 9 AM to 5

PM, and I'm going home with my phone in my bag and a book in my hand And there are so many people right now...

I think I need to go home quickly It's not that I'm tired from waking up early; I'm tired because there are so many people Once I get home, I'll be fine I always think about what to do before coming in

You need to wash your hands first Wash your hands and do 25 push-ups I'll heat up the food so we can eat right after the workout Then another 25 (fingers are just a wish) When I get home, I sit down without even washing my hands

and just look at my phone and laptop, and time just disappears for an hour Oh my life... I think it's been almost 2 years since I started deciding in order what to do before going home and just doing it right away after I get in

Actually, I'm not doing these push-ups to build my body, but just for basic stamina?

I feel like my basic physical strength has increased a bit from doing them continuously My muscles have also increased just a little I've been sweating a lot doing this, you know?

If you wash up right after eating, it's zero waste of time I think life is something you go through alone I don't know when it happened, but I've realized that and now I'm finding ways to get along well with myself

I am living as it is Of course, getting along with people is important, but the joy of being alone is different from the joy of being together Before I started YouTube, there were many days when I didn't say a word

So my mouth was always dry When someone calls I said, "I need to drink some water, so please wait a bit ㅠㅠ" But it's been about 3 months since I started doing YouTube properly?

It's a very good friend (=camera), and today is the beginning It's 9:39 PM, and I'm so tired that I think I should go to bed early today I woke up before the alarm went off Yes, I go to bed at 10 o'clock

As usual, I woke up on time I'm going to sleep now Good morning! Oh, my arm is numb I'm one minute late It's been exactly a week since I woke up at 5:30 Should I sleep for just five more minutes?

I need to resist this temptation and get up And I discovered another benefit of reading while I was reading There is research showing that even just 6 minutes of reading a day can reduce stress levels by 68% And I also left this phone on my desk

while I sleep instead of bringing it to bed This is really good because you can't see it Since I wake up early in the first place, I don't even think about looking at my phone, and because the phone is on the desk,

I have to get up from bed to see it So I think this is a great way to fix that bad habit So if you also need to sleep or want to avoid looking at your phone after waking up,

just don't bring your phone to bed But I still have to intentionally wake up early Even when I read a book, I sometimes think, 'Do I really have to do this boring thing again?' But once I read it, I feel calm and good

The three books I read in a week are these This is a really great book To summarize it in a sentence each, it's a book that explains how our stress works and clearly distinguishes between what we can control

and what we cannot, focusing on how to concentrate on our lives This 'Atomic Habits' book, as mentioned above, is about how 'small changes can lead to remarkable results.' I have had enough sleep and I feel really good And the best part is that I just faint as soon as I lie down

on the bed in 10 seconds But due to inertia, I can go back to my original state So for now, I have to keep my wits about me and continue on I will proceed with the remaining parking in the same way

Clear~ It's been 2 weeks since I started waking up at 5:30 I really enjoy the calmness in the morning I hardly hear any car sounds, and I've read a total of 5 books during these 2 weeks A book that is somewhat related to my situation

is this one called 'Dopamine Nation' The core message of this book is 'Find the right balance between pleasure and pain' When I apply it to my life, it seems that in my excessive pursuit of pain (overload), it has manifested as excessive pleasure as a side effect (burnout symptoms)

I think anything extreme is not good Now, the scary thing is that if we keep pursuing pleasure, the threshold for pleasure, or the standard, increases, and we can no longer feel the joy we initially experienced (leading us to seek more stimulating things)

It's no longer enjoyable at that level; watching YouTube isn't for enjoyment anymore, but rather to avoid pain (procrastination, avoidance) So the solution is to pursue appropriate pain in life I argue that by waking up at 5:30 or reading,

one can attain a higher quality of pleasure, which has led me to think a lot And waking up early gives me a slight feeling that my skin is getting better Since it takes at least a month for a person to change,

I still wake up with the thought that I can go back I read books and avoid looking at my phone Since it's exam season, my daily routine might change a bit, but I will keep waking up early and even though I might not read a lot of books,

I will maintain this pattern I'm not saying that I don't watch YouTube at all; I do watch it on my laptop, but the important point is that I don't watch it when I wake up or before going to bed

And even if I do watch it, it's when all my tasks are done, but even after finishing everything, I'm so tired that I just want to go to sleep quickly I am so happy It's the 3rd week There aren't any major differences

from the 2nd week Condition? Same Feelings? Same Tiredness? Same But I'm maintaining at least 7 hours of sleep And I took a nap in the first week, but I haven't been napping since the second week I took a nap once in the middle of the first week,

but I ended up sleeping for 3 hours I am not taking a nap I couldn't read that many books during the third week I have read three books like this so far But actually... I haven't finished reading this book yet

This much is left, this much (the epilogue part) So far, I've been waking up at 5:30, reading continuously, and not looking at my phone before bed, and I've realized that in order for a person to change, their environment needs to change first

The environment I'm talking about here is a minor one, like not looking at your phone before bed (putting it on the desk before sleeping) or keeping books in sight By changing the environment and gradually adapting to the new one,

I think the willpower of a person is also important Consciously and intentionally trying to avoid looking at the phone, trying to read a book, and trying to get up - "Your willpower is important." We've heard this kind of thing many times, right?

But there is a reason why it has been coming up a lot since the old days I think if we change the environment first and then intentionally and consciously try to adapt ourselves to that environment, we can enter the process of change

Of course, it will take a very long time to change completely, but don't think about that long passage of time First of all, it's right to think about the immediate day, week, and month In the last week, I'll wake up at 5:30

and try reading a book It's been exactly one month since I woke up at 5:30 During this fourth week, I read just these two books Focusing on one thing for a month has kept my mind clear of distractions,

and while looking at my phone, I kept thinking, 'Oh, I should be doing this or that Why am I just sitting here?' I think I feel less stressed now that I don't have these thoughts anymore Also, since I don't look at my phone before bed, I feel less eye strain when I wake up

Even though it's the same 24 hours, I feel like I've used my time more productively If I show you my phone usage time by week, this is week 1 In the 2nd week, 3rd week, and finally the last 4th week,

I did 54 minutes except for Saturday, and I think I'll use it for about 50 minutes today as well In fact, these days, it's almost impossible to live without a mobile phone I hardly looked at it except when it was really necessary

The books I've read over the past month are about this much After I finished reading the books, I organized the content by chapter and整理 my thoughts I read a lot of books related to habits, and the key point here is that

depending on how we shape our environment, it affects various aspects of our brain, stress, and habits To build good habits, we need to intentionally keep at it, and to eliminate bad habits, we need to intentionally avoid doing them, right?

But I think that living with this kind of intentionality allows us to live our lives more proactively There's a saying that people don't change, but I don't believe that People can change; everyone can move in the direction they desire

But I think it's important that the experience of enduring discomfort must be accompanied by it So I believe that as this experience accumulates, and small changes continue to build up, we will be able to feel the changes Today is the 29th day,

and tomorrow will be exactly the 30th day, so I will try to wake up by 5:30 until tomorrow I... because of the exam period I stayed up all night I feel like I'm going to collapse...

Everyone, fighting! ;))
