I've decided that I want to be a better person than I currently am. This mainly revolves around working harder and procrastinating less, as I have some very big exams coming up after Christmas for university and I'm pretty keen on passing them.

As a result, I'm going to do regular exercises for my back (scoliosis sucks) and spend less time on Reddit, Facebook, SG (๐Ÿ˜”), and gaming so that I can spend more time studying and finishing my assignments on time instead of always doing them at the last minute and rushing them. I'm also going to drink less since I've been developing a habit of drinking too much.

To celebrate, I've cleared my (admittedly small) blacklist and decided I'm not going to use it any more. I've also made a little gib. Unfortunately it's a bundled game, though it's one I really like. Standard SG Tools just to make sure the winner abides by the rules.

Hope you all have a lovely night!

What exercises do you do? I have the same issue.

When I last saw my doctor about it he said the most important thing for me was to try and lengthen my hamstring muscles. To do this I was told to do what is essentially a frozen Goose step with my foot resting on a chair and hold it for 3 minutes while keeping my back straight and upright. Other than that I intend to do the prone superman, the reverse warrior, the upward facing dog, the overhead shoulder stretch, and the posterior shoulder stretch. I used to do situps but I've recently discovered that they aren't a good thing to do if you have back issues.

I'd recommend seeing your doctor about it first though, every body is different and I don't know much about stretches!

If you have rock hard abs then you're not playing enough video games

I don't have abs or the ability to play enough video games right now. The horror.

I wish you the best of luck, I have to kind of do similar things too and get my act together to finish off this semester. Too much rushing/last minute work.

I feel not smart. I read scoliosis and thought sciatica. Sciatica sucks too :( Either way, keep doing those stretches and I hope it'll work out for you. Fight on! :)

Sciatica sounds awful, my scoliosis isn't too bad it just gives me discomfort during the day but luckily it's usually not painful.

It can get pretty awful if you don't manage it with exercising and stuff, which I've regrettably experienced. The pain can get so bad that nights become near-sleepless but that's if you ignore it or brush it off as something normal. So yeah, luckily it's only discomfort for you! Recovering or at least managing your scoliosis shouldn't be too hard as long as you stick to your exercise regimen :)

First time I didn't pass the sg tolls reqs and came back as a flagged profile...Did a fast self-check and everything seems to be in order so not gonna sweat it just yet.

Anyways I do hope you will be able to achieve all the changes you want and more!

It looks like it's because of a DLC, which the Steam API can't always detect.

Since it's an exceptional circumstance, add me on Steam and I'll message you the giveaway URL if you're interested in the game :)

So what you're saying is I should procrastinate by reading how to not procrastinate? ;)

Thank you though, I'll have a look
