So my name is zubz, I just turned 20 years old and I want to give your guys details and context of what is going on right now, and if you have any advice I would be most grateful.

So I want to achieve many things, I also have some addictions I want to tackle. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I end up doing nothing and getting depressed.

Im current 300 lbs and I'm going to get to 180lbs in 1.5 years, I want to create a side business, I have an addiction to pornography. And I need advice if anybody has any. How do I go about achieving success. Should I tackle one demon at a time?

This message might be all over the place, but I'm grateful to whoever gives advice.

Hi zubz, thanks for sharing.

Yup, tackle one demon at a time.
Especially, on your addictions.

Go read Atomic Habits by James Clear.
There's lots he says about reworking your habits to more positive ones, but one point from him is to make your addictions difficult to do.

One way you could do it is to note when you are more likely to do porn in the day.
And make sure during that time you are either in a place faraway from the usual place where you watch porn (e.g. your bedroom), or busy doing something else (e.g. sports or freelancing work).

Won't be easy at first, but you have to retrain your dopamine to come only after you complete meaningful work.

Wallstreet Playboy's book, Efficiency, also has some good pointers and actionable steps on business, networking and straightening your daily practices.

Watch this video to help you learn about the Pomodoro Technique on time management. I think this will drastically help you with your management.
TL:DW
25 Minute timer. Do one task. If you need a break take 3-5 minute break. Then another 25m task. Rinse wash repeat. After 4 pomodoro take a 15-30m break.

Goals: Increase time, no distractions, guess how many pomodoro's an activity you need will take i.e. 2P = ~1hr. Learn time management. End game.

In regards to porn, are you doing it because you are bored or because horny. If the former, why are you bored? What could you be doing instead. When that happens, just get up and do 10-20 crunches. You wont want to after.
