I use to play and I think it's two-fold, because you can get into too big of a break, to the point where you're no longer being productive.
The reason I say that is because my brother-in-law plays a lot of video games and he's not well off. It just saddens me that he wastes so much of his precious time on the game.
HOWEVER, that's just one scenario. I used to LOVE gaming! Thanks for sharing.
I agree! It truly can get out of hand quickly. Thats sad that your brother in law has become too absorbed in them.
When I play games, I set a timer. Or I allow myself to play 1-2 rounds of something (Which is pretty short). I then make myself "earn" more game time by finishing up more work first.
Absolutely, discipline has got to be a prerequisite. That's a creative strategy. I love it!
