Thanks for the support
Day 2. Familiar territory, so it's pretty easy now. I remember my first few day 2s quickly turning into day 1s
Having something to do, and the discipline to stick to it, is key. I think a lot of us use masturbating as a form of procrastination. I certainly do... if there's a piece of work to do and I don't know where to start, my mind will chirp up with
"hmmm, big job .... I'll have a quick wank first and come back to it later. Nothing wrong with a bit of pleasure, right?".
Of course that doesn't happen ... it takes a while to find just the right bit of porn ... and then I gotta take my time with it to *really* enjoy it ... and then when I pop, I gotta clean up ... and then I'll be drowsy, no point working like this .... I gotta take a nap ....
AND BANG, another successful procrastination session - I avoid doing work for another day.
The best place to stop this steamroller is AT THE START - by identifying what you're supposed to be doing, and keeping your mind on it. The further you go, the harder it gets to stop. For examples, consider these different places you can stop:
Staying focused on the job you should be doing: pretty easy.
Resisting the urge to start up the porn: still pretty easy.
Viewing porn, resisting the urge to start touching yourself: getting tricky
Once wanking, making yourself stop: difficult
At the peak, stopping yourself coming:
damn near impossible!
It gets progressively harder and harder to stop. If you want to stop this taking off, the easiest place is AT THE START, before it picks up momentum.
This momentum can work FOR you as well. Instead of letting the masturbation pick up momentum, make an commitment to concentrate on your work for 10 minutes. (Just get started!) Once you've gotten into your work and have engaged your mind, you won't want to be interrupted. Porn and distractions will slide off you a lot easier. And BANG ... another successful procrastination session put off 'til later
