2025 Renounce Challenge 

I want to be smarter to get a good job for the future.

Now more than ever is when I really need to start giving up games and social media in order to study for the HSC. I don't want to spend any more weeks feeling that I could've done or studied more. This challenge won't just last me until the end of Term 2 or until HSC finishes, but for the rest of my life.

This is important to me because I want to get a good rank by doing well in assessment tasks and Trial examinations.

I have chosen to commit to a 30 min/day social media/gaming renunciation because it distracts me from actually studying. I have also committed to studying for 50 hours on top of homework and assessments so I can get better results in the HSC.

I want to replace my entertainment time into study time to be more concentrated in my HSC study than last year.

If I renounce what holds me back, I will improve on those subjects that I previously did poorly in..

To renounce means that I will have more time to focus on studying for upcoming assessents.

I want to focus my studies more so that the results I get will be even better than last year.

Since the half-yearly exams are approaching, it's important for me to take my study time seriously. I want to avoid distractions such as games, social media, and TV. Now that I'm in Stage 5, I aim to improve my study techniques, and this renounce challenge is a step toward achieving that goal.

Social media takes up lots of my time everyday since I have little discipline and allow myself to procrastinate on it. So I'm taking this as an opportunity to cut down on the time I spend on it and maximise my study time.

I'm renouncing social media & gaming because I want to spend my time on other priorities instead of wasting my time on useless things that doesn't help with my academic goals

As I don't play many games or partake in social media in the first place aside from contacting family or friends, only committing 30 minutes to media is adequate. As for only being able to have a total of 40 hours until the end of term, as my parents are rarely home, all the housework and chores falls onto me, leaving a shorter time being able to be allocated to studying.

I want to become a better version of myself, cutting out gaming and social media give me more time to develop myself better for both physically and mentally

If I want to achieve better results, I really need to make a change to how I use social media.

My goal is to improve my academic results by the end of this year. In my opinion I think social media is a major obstacle in my path for academic excellence so I aim to remove this obstruction to unlock my potential.

I will commit to limiting my use of social media to 30 minutes per day. I understand how easily i can get distracted from my priorities. By setting boundries, I can give my self more time to study for the upcoming exams.

Social media has often made me very distracted, and I want to stop procrastinating and study more. I know this works.

By committing to only 30 minutes per day of social media and gaming, I will be able to dedicate more time into studying for my half yearly exams and my scholarship test. This enables me to be able to do my best and exceed in my studies and class ,so I can make my parents and family proud.

I'm going to be committing to 30 minutes of social media per day because I need to limit how many minutes I spend on it So, I can study more for half-yearly exams, so I can try to get high marks. I spend too much time using social media, when I could be using that time to study.

The reason for this is to strive for good grades and learn useful information everyday.

I would like to renounce social media and gaming until the end of May, so I have more time to study for my exams. I want to score at least a B in most of my subjects and renouncing social media and gaming will help me focus on my studies.

I want to quit game and social media because they were taking too much of my time and my energy. My study will get worse and I started spending less time with my family. I felt tired, unmotivated, and lost focus on my real goal. It also made me forget about the things that truly matter in my real life. Now, I want to take back control, improve myself, and build stronger connections with people aorund me. This decision will help me grow, stay focused and become a better person.

What do I limit and what does it allow me to do when limited?

I limited my social media and gaming to 30 minutes per day, which allows me additional time for studying.

Why did I limit social media and gaming to only 30 minutes?

Social media and gaming distract me from focusing in class, school and schoolwork. However, This year I want to achieve between 70% and 100% in my half yearly exams.

Thank you for reading!

I am going to completely renounce anything on a device that is distracting and time wasting (e.g. Social media and Gaming) until the end of this term. A big problem I have is wasting my time on social media, it has become an addiction, causing me to hand homework and assignments in last minute (because I only start last minute) and has hindered my academic and moral growth. Throughout this time of renunciation I hope to break the bad habits and laziness that Social Media and Gaming has caused me. Although I get good marks in math and some other subjects, distractions on a device still hinder my growth. My hope is that even after the renounce challenge ends I never get as attached to social media as I am now and I can improve.

Since I spend to much time on social media and my exams are coming up I want to renounce social media to spend my time studying more.

I want to commit to this challenge so I can do better in my academics and slowly end my sensual desire. Ending my want for games and social media will allow me to have more time to put into my studies, helping me do better in my exams.

I am renouncing devices because I am on it too much.

I am committing to this Renounce challenge so that I can stop fantasising about going on screens as much and I can block out distractions to get good results on my exams.

the reason why i am quiting my games is because i have been losing track of my studies and my exams are coming up

To become a better person.

Renunciatiojn is important. If I do it, I will get better marks in my half yearly examinations.

I have a problem with doomscrolling on social media to procrastinate. If I gradually minimise my time on social media, I'll be able to slowly adapt to the changes and reap the rewards.

To learn more to listen to the teacher and learn is your habitat.

I want to stop bad habits and replace them with studying.

Why I'm choosing to stay off games and Social Media

I'm choosing to stay off social media and games

because I want to focus more on real life. I want to spend more time with my family, do better in school, and enjoy hobbies that help me grow. I believe this change will make a better version of myself.

I want to study more so I can be a better student.

I want to get smarter and focus on my work

I need to do this for a school challenge Called (Renounce Challenge) its good to learn.

I am renouncing social media because i watch to much and play to much that it has become a addiction.

Because im forced too :D and i have to by the end of the year anyways and i already deleted it. :p

i will commit 3 days of the week to study and do my homework and i will commit to studying to the ned of the term

I stop doing social media because i want to study more better.

This year I want to limit myself to 30 minutes per day of social media to focus more on study so it can help me achieve my HSC goals of getting band 6 in my subjects.

I want to spend more time with my family and doing more productive tasks such as going for a walk or visiting relatives or doing school work rather than doomscrolling on my bed. The hours that I spend on my phone can be used to get more sleep to focus better in class and improve my overall wellbeing. This is because I find that when I'm healthy I can do better overall and enjoy my life more.

I want to be able to get above a Band 5-6 in my subjects. In order to do so, I must commit to studying and understanding the content with efficiency. The total study time of 50 hours will be focused work on school homework, studying future modules/topics, and solidifying understanding of past or current topics.

I’m aiming to reduce the amount of time I spend on my phone each day, limiting it to about 30 minutes. I’ve realised that a lot of time can slip away scrolling or messaging, so I plan to use that time more wisely by focusing on study. This way, I can stay on top of my subjects and give myself the best chance of getting a better HSC mark.

If I renounce I will focus on studying for the Trial and HSC exams.

I want to achieve my goal of getting a ATAR of 85 or above through replacing the time I spend on social media/ gaming with more study time.

I want to replace sedentary time on social media and gaming with physical activity and with academic study.

I am renouncing all social media and gaming in order to spend almost all my time focusing on school work. My parents work so hard to help me everyday, so the least i can do for them is get good grades and make them proud of me.

Social media is problematic because you can get addicted. The same is true of gaming because there are more important priorities in life.

Gaming and social media made me pick up the habit of procrastinating. Every time I tell myself that I'm going to submit my homework I end up playing games, making me delay my plans on doing my homework almost every night. This made me significantly fall back in class and this challenge would be a great help on making me focus more on my studies since it makes me spend less time in-front of a screen.

The renounce challenge will help me maximise the time I can spend with family. It will also help me study. I spend too much time on social media and the renounce challenge will help me have free time for myself.

I chose 30 minutes per day of social media & gaming because I want to have some fun after doing all the works, chores and studies. I chose 15 hours because end of each day, I studies almost for 9-10 hours end of each day, and I chose it because I want to study 15 extra hours for the end of the term.

To just sit and do nothing is called laziness, and laziness is one of the 7 deadly sins. Jesus died on the cross for everyone and I wanna thank him for it, by not being lazy, and study instead

I chose to commit 30 minutes of social media and gaming because sometimes I want to relax and play games or watch social media after doing homework or coming back from school, the shops, or anywhere.

I am renouncing games and social media because I think I go on too much, I mostly use games and don't actually study much. Instead of using games and Pinterest I will replace it with studying 10 hours till the end of the term!
