Online Games And How To Stop Yourself Playing Too Many Of Them

By Sakis Mavromatis


The biggest problem that many people have with online games is that we tend to waste a lot of time playing them. My main issue is that every time I think I will just play a quick game, I find that hours have passed without me even realising. And because I often play these games when I am supposed to be doing my work, it is even worse. Because I work from home, playing these games is very easy and I waste far too much time. I end up losing out financially.

So in order to stop me wasting too much of my time, I have had to come up with some new tactics.

I found it was necessary for me to remove the gaming websites from my online bookmarks. It was so easy for me to get onto these gaming websites before because I only had to click on the icons. I would often not even realise that I had clicked the icon and that I had been playing the game for some time. If I want to play the games these days then I have to actively type the name of the website into the search bar so I have to think about what I am doing.

I've made a contract with myself to not play games at certain times of the day. I have instead set myself work to do during this time and I am trying very hard not to deviate from this. I have allotted time in the evenings for when I can play games to my heart's content.

I also allow myself to have a bit of time playing games if I manage to finish up my work earlier than planned.

As well as this, I don't leave the internet on anymore when I am working because this is another form of temptation for me. However, there are times when I need my internet for work purposes so I can't have it off all the time.
