    1) Have an environment just for studying because some things trigger a certain mentality of studying and are less tempting...
    2) increase the friction of getting into a video game... Make your work more attractive for you...
    3) game after you're done working and make it a reward
    4) play games that work well with your schedule...
    5) turn your life into a game. Set goals and when you achieve them Cross em off

    Tipp: What helped me the most: Every monday morning i draw a chart at a whiteboard next to my my desk with three chart colums: "learn," "game," and "sport" where i mark all the time, that is spend there. By sunday evening the "game" part needs to be smaller then the "learn" and "sport." This also helps against playing boring farming games where you just waste your time grinding, because you realise how valuable your free gaming time is and you play fun games instead. :)

    Tip number one and I think this is probably the most important tip in the entire video
    , which is why it's going first. It's to simply set up an environment for studying that is only for studying.
    Tip number two is to increase the friction involved into getting into a video game.
    Tip third is to simply game after you're done working for the day.
    Tip number four is to play games that work well with your schedule.
    Tip number five is his favorite tip because it's actually fun and it's to simply turn
    your life into a game.

I always had an unhealthy relationship with gaming, I'd used to play so much and now I relapsing into that habit (one factor is the pandemic) and I became lazy. However, I set myself to only play after I did my university work... but then I really play for HOURS. After I wake up tomorrow I'll try to limit my access to just 1h per day. Thanks for suggesting apps like StayFocused, I'll try it out tomorrow!

    Before going to college, I was playing video game but not daily. But since I began my studies at college I spent more time playing video game rather than studying or writing assignments. On top of that my mom pays the college fees. I have lost control over my life from being addicted to video games, even I uninstall the games, I cant even finish a week without re-installing them and download the new ones (games).
    what worries me is that, this is my opportunity to make my life better but I keep ruining it due to my addiction in video games.
    This issue makes me to hate my life and my existence in general. the worst part I'm on my third year in college, even though I do manage to pass my grades are always around 60%. since I become a college student, I cant even do good with my grades in every semester
    at times when writing or studying for my upcoming tests/examination I sometimes thinking of ceasing myself from living. i have failed once when I was younger

To counter this, I play games to counter my sleepiness and then study after a...let's say maybe a 45 min. match in DOTA 2. Now the problem is I don't get to study for the exams either because I accidentally fall asleep or because I waste my time playing games staying awake. Any tips to counter this sleepiness problem?

    I am now leaving all gaming. It wasn't something I did before, and I recently started playing them when I built my PC in March 2017. Rainbow six and Battlefield 1 took most of my time i.e 970 hours on r6 and about 307 hours on battlefield 1. My friends keep suggesting games to me, however, every game I play is very boring to me. Now the games that I do play have gotten boring and every time I play them I feel like a shit person for not being productive. So as of tonight before Fall semester starts on the 20th I shall not be playing games. Unfortunately, in CS and my program I.T. pretty much everyone plays games. So I will have to find another topic to relate to people on. Besides common field of study that is.

    • @caesar7786
      @caesar7786 2 года назад

      This is about balancing both, not leaving.
      Well, that's your problem if the games you play are boring, not the games themselves..literally, games are meant to be fun. Also, no, playing games don't automatically make you unproductive person, idk why do you think they aren't productive when that's not true, actually, if you keep things balanced, games can give you numerous positive benefits.
      Wdym unfortunately in CS and I.T. everyone plays games? That's not a problem, it's their ways to have fun & relax time

    The best thing is to make a study place which is only for studying no video games over there.

    I really like games, it makes me feel good. But I can't find a balance of time: for example, sometimes I can work too hard almost without games, but then I feel that I am too much focused at "useful" things, and forget about useless but fun. Otherwise, sometimes I can play too much and do just a few work. So how correspond in your schedule useful things (work, useful hobbies) and useless but relaxing (chatting with a friends, games, etc.) Maybe you have an approximate percentage division?

      VillalobosC9 that whole setup is actually my roommate's - mine is quite a bit smaller. I'd say I'm about 70% PC, 30% console.

    I'm a student studying electrical and electronic engineering. I've started my year recently and before that, i deleted all the games on my pc. Now if i have the urge to game (after i finish working), then i just play around with my arduino and make electronics projects

    How to get things that you want as a child:
    Lets just say you dont have a phone and you really wanted it but your parents wouldnt allow you to get. So you need to use their phone as long and as much as possible so either they think buying you a phone is a good idea or being punished or even worse by thinking phones are bad for you

    How can I not listen to your advice after using a battlefront 2 clip? In all seriousness though, this is some good advice and seeing as I spent 12 hours gaming instead of studying for a test, (that I failed) I'll defiantly have to give these tips a try.

    Hey Thomas I am currently studying Plato, I am wondering, would you consider him to be the first philosopher? What are your thoughts on these old-school philosophers? My name is Andrea (dad's account), I am a Spanish 23 year old neuroscience graduate (uni of manchester, really great) currently studying a neuroscience masters in UMH in Spain while studying a humanities degree. Would love chatting with you you seem soo interesting, I have chatted with fellow students (physics to be precise) about you in our university dining room we love you! x

    Hey any tips on controlling mobile gaming. I’ve kinda have indulged in hardcore gaming on my iPad. For example Shadowverse, Granblue Fantasy, Fate Grand Order, and more. PLEASE HELP ME. They seem to interfere with college.

  • @irreadings

    How about the opposite? I am so inclined towards work that I barely have any play. Besides, I even have a problem defining "play". Could studying drawing and/or music be considered play? During my free time I end up just studying more. Is that healthy?

    I share my room with my brother so there's no much space and I just can't study in another room because my parents are split in remaining rooms, so I can't stay focused if I am not in my room in which I do everything.

    Great tips! I'm definitely gonna use some of these! Though I wonder if you can spell out what the app (that you mentioned before habitRPG) is called. I can't really hear what you say there... (I guess I'm not that good at english)
