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.
