How My Life Changed When I Quit Video Games

"I've improved all of my physical stats" this is great lol !
Great article! I have also been a big tabletop and video games fan. I have found that at some point, having just better things to do replaced my video gaming time. Then my console was just gathering dust and after a year or two, it was just obvious that I should sell it.

I am curious about what was the trigger for your one year challenge. Do you remember how you felt or was there a specific event or thing you realised that made you start this experience ? You mentioned a "pit", was it like a wake-up call or is there something you said to yourself ?

Keep the good articles coming !

I was playing Civilization V, and had just finished reading Cicero, by Anthony Everitt.

Cicero had done so much in his lifetime, and I was sitting around watching time disappear six-hour-chunk by six-hour-chunk, with nothing to show for those hours spent.

It was one of those anxiety filled: there's-so-much-I-don't-know-and-I'm-wasting-so-much-time moments.

Thanks for asking!

It's 11 PM, I can take just one more turn... one more turn... one more turn... why is it 4AM??? Been there. LOL
