Unfollow The Default

I, Eric Strohmaier, refuse to live on autopilot.

This is my operating system. Updated December 14, 2025.

What I've Quit

  • ❌Alcohol
  • ❌Social media scrolling
  • ❌News consumption
  • ❌Phone in the morning (first 2 hours)
  • ❌Saying yes to please others
  • ❌Processed sugar
  • ❌Comfort over growth

What I Do Instead

  • →100 push-ups daily (building to 300)
  • →100 squats daily (building to 300)
  • →Cold showers
  • →2 hours phone-free every morning
  • →Read only what I choose, never what feeds choose
  • →Build in public
  • →Think before consuming

My Non-Negotiables

  1. 1.Freedom matters more than comfort
  2. 2.Long-term over short-term, always
  3. 3.Action over worry
  4. 4.Create more than I consume
  5. 5.Think independently or don't think at all

My Daily Routine

Morning (2 hours sacred)

  • Wake naturally
  • Lie in bed thinking (no phone)
  • 100 push-ups, 100 squats
  • Cold shower
  • Plan the day on paper

Work (6-8 hours)

  • One thing at a time
  • Deep work only
  • Phone off, notifications off
  • Build something that matters

Evening

  • Physical training
  • Read (books, not feeds)
  • Review: Did I live my principles today?
  • Sleep 8+ hours

What I'm Building

Why This Exists

"If you open your phone first thing in the morning, you become a creature told what to think about for the rest of the day."

— Pavel Durov

This page is my accountability. My declaration. My refusal to be average.

If you're reading this, you're either: A) Future me, checking if I'm still on track B) Someone who needs permission to do the same.

Consider this your permission.

Unfollow the default. All of them.
