I’m going to get rid of all my electronics and go full ascetic for a month at least. Maybe longer. I want to spend my entire time studying and actually implementing a single system or philosophy. Any recommendations? Pythagoreanism? Gurdjieff? Christianity. Neoplatonism, Druidry. Evola's Magic books?... I’m not sure. Any ideas?

Spinoza if you are interested in truth
He is actually interesting but frick the early life makes it tough for me to start to read him
Only good answer
Nah, he subsumed god to nature, he’s hardly truthful. More of a curious charlatan if anything
See you tomorrow

I really need to get rid of distractions in my life and detox my mind. Which is more effective, going all in like OP, or a gradual change of habits?
All-in and then keeping the changes you liked for the long run. I've quite the consumption of sugar, cigarettes, alcohol and coffee this way after multiple years of trying to quit them gradually. Implementing a change with immediate effect (multiple times if needed) are much more effective than trying to do things gradually.
Try picking a date and then force yourself to live through it.
I'll give it a shot (or a couple), thanks
No problem friend, you can do it.

Nietzsche actually recommended this type of asceticism for the purpose of strengthening the will. So read Nietzsche. Seek power.
Perfect time and place to take the leap of faith! Read Kierkegaard
This is the room I imagined Smerdyakov lying in when he was visited by Ivan
Read Plato and spend your time philosophizing. That isn't the same thing as adopting another fully formed system.

Christianity.
