Also, Rules:
• I can renew this commitment only in the time window when the report submission is turned on
• Once I report success for nth week, the last entry on the commitment journal decides my info diet i.e. no changes in it until the report submission time arrives
• Penalty clause: If I do any of the above, either I lose the commitment success or I tear down a Rs 100 note before I mark that commitment successful.
• Exceptions in the email clause can be added with 1 day notice on pps but they can be transferred on here only on days when the report submission is turned on
Misc:
• I need to realize that the lists in this document shall be built bit by bit over time in baby steps. I do not need to rush into expounding on these lists.
• I’m looking to merge stickk fooddiet, infodiet, and stickk habits thread into one. This is because I understand that change is a painfully slow process and I need to make ONE change at a time. Two per week is already exhausting!
