Taking a hiatus

Posting this here just to keep myself accountable. I’m going on a two week break from any and all video games. Just had one of my first assignments for my class and felt very under prepared for it and feel like I didn’t do my best. So I want to break myself from this addiction and perhaps include it into my days again when I feel like I deserve to.

So if anyone sees me online playing a video game then feel free to bother and pester me about it.

Good luck man, balancing school, work, and hobbies is tough sometimes. I struggle with it as well. School is important though, I hope you do well and are able to give it the focus and attention you are striving for.

I feel you dude, school can becoming overwhelming if you start to fall behind or do rough on your first assignments. Good luck!

@LaughingElefant @oTigerSpirit Much appreciated. It has just gotten to ththe point where my Xbox took over my life.

Sometimes I could ration myself to where I would only play a couple of matches that would take around 30 minutes and then go study. But there’s other times (at night especially) where I’m staying up till 5 AM just constantly pressing “Find next match” in Ranked. All the while just thinking “Cmon let me end the night on a win!” only to lose match after match after match. And not only do I go to bed miserable but I sleep the entire next day and don’t get a ■■■■ thing done.

Believe me, I have been there… I’ve actually been on the forums too doing the same thing :joy:. Just find your balance and give yourself a limit. It can be hard to break away from gaming, I totally get it.
