The “Are you still there?” notification on Netflix wakes you up from your Netflix binge session that evening. You close it and think to yourself: “Why can't I do that with gaming? It's a matter of getting to the next checkpoint every time… hit enter once and I'm already in the next session.”
You know you're gaming too much, but it's just too much fun to stop.
Games are designed to be played. And above all to keep you playing!
If you are sensitive to this, it sometimes takes some discipline and willpower to keep gaming fun. Sometimes it happens temporarily that gaming becomes more than a hobby and you start to lose yourself. It's not just the hours you put in, it keeps you busy throughout the day and the quality of your offline activities is nothing to write home about. Do you think it's time to shift your focus? Moti4 can help you with this!
