At least until the summer. I go to a coll with the quarter system aToday was the first day of classes, and I realized something. I am not happy where I am.
My dream is to one day work at NASA, be in top physical shape, and have great memories with my friends in college.
I have a 3.1 in aero engineering, I lift occasionally, and I have a good(not great) social life right now.
Video games literally take up 8-10 hours a week. And honestly, playing a game of left 4 dead 2 or team fortress 2, or Bioshock is really not worth it. Yeah it's fun for a little bit, but the satisfaction I can get from those things I want in my ideal life are worth much more. If I studied during that time, I could be making great strides, and also free up time for the weekend to chill with the bros and girls.
So it's goodbye all videogames, Diablo 3, I was looking forward to you, but we're going to have part ways with the beta and you for awhile.
KingButz posted... You should say goodbye to this message board as well if you need extra time.
I only have 40 active messages posted. My GFaqs time has drastically cut down from what it used to be. I need some entertainment between classes, and music and the boards do it for me.
But sitting down and playing videogames for 2 hours...too much of a waste.
ExThaNemesis posted... Yeah. Find a way to pry yourself more away from B8 as well, it'll help.
Eh I mean if board time gets too much I'll just give my account to a friend and have him change the password until the summer. But I don't think my gfaqs time is too bad. We'll have to see how this quarter progresses.
Good call. I've taken a few months (up to six) hiatus from video games before, and I've accomplished impressive things with that time. I have two suggestions to help you succeed in improving your time management:
1. Set up daily/monthly goals so you can have the satisfaction of measurable progress. 2. Develop a framework for how you will spend your time each day. Do it now, while you have motivation. Your motivation will only last for two weeks at most; after that, a framework for your schedule/habits will help keep you on track.

I feel ya brother. I don't know how long this "motivation high" will last. But I have to keep up a schedule and stick to it if I want to keep it up.
