MONK MODE

Write down specific and measurable goals you want to achieve during Monk Mode. Examples:

• Develop a new skill (e.g. learning a language, coding, or photography).
• Improve mental clarity (e.g. through meditation or journaling).
• Build discipline (e.g. through consistent exercise or waking up early).
• Break a bad habit (e.g. procrastination or social media addiction).
• Enhance productivity (e.g. working on a side hustle, completing a project).

Set clear boundaries that guide your behavior during Monk Mode. These should align with your goals and eliminate distractions. Examples:

• Eliminate distractions: No social media, video games, or unnecessary phone use.
• No mindless entertainment: Replace binge-watching with reading or skill-building.
• Strict routine: Wake up and sleep at fixed times, plan daily tasks.
• Daily self-improvement: Dedicate time to activities like exercise, reading, or meditation.
• Intentional breaks: Use breaks for reflection, walks, or creative hobbies instead of passive scrolling.
