Instructions
Step 1
You probably didn't pay attention to how much time you spend playing games. Time when you started playing and when you finished. The result will shock you.
Step 2
Set a limit for yourself. For example, play only with friends, or set aside a certain amount of time for the game. To do this, start a timer. As soon as it rings, turn off the game. Do not try to drastically shorten the time for games, this will not give the expected result.
Step 3
When choosing a game, pay attention to those that can be quickly completed. Do not take games that take a long time to complete.
Step 4
The game is virtual reality in which you should be interesting and comfortable. You should not take on difficult games to show your abilities to others, do not be afraid to leave boring virtual reality for you out of fear of judgment.
Step 5
If it happens that in addition to games you have stopped doing anything, use them as a reward. For example, sit down
for the computer only after you have done all the important things. Thus, you will begin to perceive games as an option for entertainment, and not the main component of your life.
Step 6
Watch video broadcasts of games on Youtube. Many people consider this activity useless, but in vain, because it can be combined with other useful activities, such as cleaning.
Step 7
Try taking a break from games. Remove all shortcuts from the computer and give the disks to a friend for safekeeping. Not everyone can withstand such a test, but if you understand that it is time for you to return to reality, then conduct an experiment.
In a month, replace the big changes and you will understand that the real world cannot be replaced by the virtual one.
Step 8
Computer games are not bad. With their help, you can temporarily escape into another reality, develop strategic and logical thinking. However, sometimes people spend too much time in the virtual world just because they want to hide from real problems and disagreements. If you are faced with this, then do not try to get away from conflicts in the game. Better start solving current problems. Yes, it will be more difficult, but more effective.
