I have been trying to follow a plan which is to avoid spending time on / which is to not spend time on entertainment such as watching videos, watching tv shows / tv dramas, playing games, etc. Because I found that I spent too much time on it, causing me to not have any interest in other things./ with me finding that I don’t have any interest in other things. I feel good right now without entertainment stuff, and I’m looking forward to my changes.

Jesse’s version:
Recently I’ve been trying to completely avoid spending time on things like watching videos, tv shows, and playing games because I found that I have been spending too much time on these things, which stopped me from having any interest in other things that are more productive like learning English and exercising. I feel pretty good at the moment without entertainment and I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes in the next few weeks.
