I have completely quit the following bad habits:
- Drinking – 8 months ago
- Smoking – 1 month ago
- Playing video games – 1 month ago
Additionally, I don't eat junk food or consume added sugar.
In the last few days, I have been trying to build some new habits mentioned in the image. For the most part, I am meeting the targets I set for myself. However, I am falling behind in two areas: reducing my mobile use time to below 4 hours and investing time in skill development. I tend to procrastinate when it comes to learning new skills, like becoming fluent in a foreign language or acquiring computer skills.
As I am self-employed and only work 4-5 hours a day, I have a lot of free time. I want to use my time more productively to improve my life. I need guidance on these issues.
I also have a few more questions: How can I handle stress without smoking? How can I avoid getting bored after quitting all sorts of dopamine sources, like playing games? I would like to hear your personal experience if you have succeeded in overcoming these situations.

Why are video games a bad habit if you enjoy them? Everything in moderation.
One of the most important things you need to know about habits is if you’re trying to get rid of one habit you need to replace it with another, try to think of a low impact habit that you can do throughout the day and is as convenient as smoking. Two of my main habits I’ve been trying to get rid of is porn and smoking. For porn every time I think of going to something, buying something related to it, or anything related to it I will read not long but as much time as I usually would spend on the habit itself. For smoking every time I get the urges of smoking or want to grab something to smoke I’ll do sets of some work out that I can do at that moment.
