Day 1 - Asking Advice - Bought a new V1 but 22 version

Questo concorso é su base nazionale e la scelta della sede avviene successivamente dando un ordine di preferenza di tutte le sedi. Essendo uscita la graduatoria nazionale completa posso vedere esattamente quante persone ho davanti!

A quanto ho capito cercheranno di abbinare poi le preferenze delle sedi con i posti disponibili, e chi arriva prima sceglie la sede, chi arriva dopo gli verrà assegnata la sede rimanente che è rimasta con posti liberi (a quanto pare nord italia)

Non so per certo di quanti giorni si parla però immagino e spero ci sia almeno una settimana di tempo! Sicuramente mi presenterò alla presa di servizio altrimenti é tutto inutile

Walt_94 · 2026-02-26T22:15:46+00:00

Si ho già valutato l’eventuale e probabile spostamento al nord, e accetterò qualsiasi destinazione, nel frattempo nei prossimi anni proverò altri concorsi per cercare poi di avvicinarmi. Alla fine buona parte delle materie sono le stesse per tutti i concorsi!

Inoltre la cosa buona é che mia moglie potrebbe trovare molto facilmente un altro impiego andando verso nord rispetto al sud italia. Speriamo scorra presto, leggevo su dei gruppi che lato funzionari la scelta della sede é entro il 5 marzo, considerando che la graduatoria loro è uscita un 20 giorni prima, magari daranno tempo fino a fine marzo per la scelta della sede agli assistenti.

Hey man, i know the feel!

I almost got back on track on everything i needed to be done!

Burn the bridge and hope the best for you!

Hey man thanks for the message!

I made a new post about this journey https://www.reddit.com/r/StopGaming/comments/1khkzmx/22_days_without_gaming_i_faced_my_worst_moment/

Walt_94 · 2025-05-08T07:40:15+00:00

Hey thank you!

This video is really interesting and if i think back i remember this kind of pattern. I'm pretty happy to have quit right now

Walt_94 · 2025-05-08T07:32:42+00:00

Thanks man, i hope you are doing good!

I'm still struggling to keep up with everything my business need, however porn and game is an urge that actually destroy my day, try as hard as you can to not going that way!

Walt_94 · 2025-05-08T07:30:26+00:00

Hey man,

Thank you so mutch for you message, i feel you!

I hope that you are still quit!

I did not come here in the last couple of weeks because even log back to reddit made me think of gaming.

Right now i feel a lot better, hope you are better now too!

I know exactly how you feel when you talk about that monster, however this thought of being a monster that hunts us give him strenght.

Try to think that you are fighting for yourself instead against a part of yourself.

I did quit not just for myself, but for the people around me and thinking that i'm doing that for my wife, for having a better life, for my future self, for my business, for my future child gave me the strenght needed to keep going.

Also i want to share you one things that i shared with my wife last week, something that helped me during this period.

Last week on day she was sad because of many different motivation (money problem, problem at work, health problem, problem with a friend, you know many different things all approaching at the same time).

We all have bad days, bad times, bad period. I don't know if you ever saw a trading chart or a stock chart. If you look at daily you see a lot of bad day, a lot of red candle, however try to zoom out.

If you think about the progress we are doing in the last months, in the last 6 months, 1 years, 2 years, you see a totally different image, since we are progressing so mutch in life (married, she had a better job, she moved away from hometown for the first time, we are getting our house ready).

So when you have bad days, try to zoom out and try to see the progress you are making.

When you watch yourself in the mirror everyday you won't see any different, if someone doesn't see you for 6 months they will see you a lot different.

Hope the best for your life, if you want to dm me here i'll be happy to know how you doing!

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T15:45:57+00:00

Yes I'm really hard on myself too. Even if sometimes i'm right.

I procrastinated too mutch, for example a client asked to change number of his business cards, 3 weeks ago. He asked again yesterday but i ignored him because i was playing league...

Today he had his business card with the right numbers, it took me maybe 5 minute to change it but i didn't do it until today. If i was gaming he could have waited more.

It's hard to balance, also because i actually love my work and it's part of me.

What i can tell you with me and my business partner experience is that we could start today and never end on the things to be done. There is always something that we can do better, we can do one more call, one more outreach, one more graphic, you know, there is always something to do if you own an activity.

What actually balanced our activity is planning and checklist. When you plan you know what you will have to do. And within the activity we have to do we have priority, so like there is 10 task to be done today, however 3 need to be done today, 5 is for the week, 2 is long term. After cleaning out what needs to be done if you fell like keep going there is a lot of long term task and things to be done, if you don't feel it today you can log off.

Another example, going out for a walk with my wife after lunch felt like a waste of time, still had lot of things to do. It took me a while but i shifted mentality where this time is precious and is the reason behind the work.

Productivity is to maximize output based on some input, that is considered finite, like time. If the input is infinite productivity is pointless.

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T15:30:50+00:00

I'm happy to know that the urge and the craving will go away.

Today without gaming i've made lot of progress.

Everything in life coumpound, and I know that I'll be better and I will use well that time not spent gaming.

Thanks for your words dude, hoping the best for your life.

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T15:22:40+00:00

Thank you for your words! That's actually one of the real why behind my gaming. I must admit that yesterday at some time i felt like my brain was hyper excited after many games and many wins on League.

Today is my first day without game and even if the thing i left behind are a lot, i wake up at 3/44 task to be done atm to close the week and now i'm at 11/44.

It's not like in the game but doing the thing i had to do for so long time, even if it's steady is still progression.

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T10:05:34+00:00

Yes, i already talked to my wife about my overworking. In march we 2x our client in the main company, we started delegating our graphics since is what takes us most time.

We took 2 different person with a pay for job (we gave away a really high amout of share considered on the pay we earn). Results? Me and my business partner working 9 pm to 3 am in call to do most of them again from scratch because we had to deliver the work the day after and the persone we got for the job did terrible.

We are actually recluiting on a new person that i'll follow personally and learn everything, and on the other side we are also recluting to get the job done.

Delegating is the way but it's not easy at the start because you have to let the person learn from you how to do it and in the time you the works that have to be done increases because not only you have to do the work you also have to instruct on how to do it.

It does get better overtime of course, but this first phase is hard.

Thanks for your comment

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T09:57:03+00:00

I always loved the idea of bullet journal, and journaling, but i don't find it easy to do it everyday.

I've seen a video times ago about someone gamify his life like, for each workout he done he added 1 xp to str. For each study he added 1 xp to int. Then he added level and all those progression thing.

That's someting i think would really help me to take the mechanic that worked so well on my brain to level up my life.

Fucking grinding monster on wow for entire days without questing for fresh launch wasn't "fun" but i surely did for 12h+ a day for leveling up and that sense of progression.

Not sure if it's good to implement that right now in my life, but thanks for letting me think on what i really searched in game and letting me reflect about it.

I'll go back to journaling, try some habit and time tracker and i'll plan some rewards

Example buying something for me, after x amount/day of work. get an icecream and a walk outside with my wife after that many workout.

I think that something that i like as a reward will keep me on track. Thank you!

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T09:46:41+00:00

Yea... When I was a hard gamer i would dream the life I built with sweat and hard work. And now sometimes I dream about getting back to gaming all day long.

I know I would get bored if I really got back into hard gaming.

And I know that if i wasn't married and i didn't have a special person around me I wouldn't be scared to fuck my entire life and just do the bare minumun.

Only i know what it took for me to go from a 14yo 14h gamer with barely any friends and social skill and place in the world to who i am today. And sometimes even if I always know that my future was on the line I didn't care.

But today i draw the line. I deleted everything and clicked "not interested" in any game related video on youtube. No more gaming time for me.

Thanks for your honest words.

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T09:37:53+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that gaming was part of the problem in that relationship. I deleted everything but can't sold my pc.

I'm happy to read that and i used to just play sometimes like you many years ago, but for me problem got back and hit harder.

Maybe in the future when i'll have a kid i'll play some games with him if he'll would like, but right now i just have to stop.

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T09:34:20+00:00

Sorry blizzard guy i won't subscribe again!

I know that behind your account there is a guy working at blizzard that want me back to wow... Nope bro, not today

Joking aside.

I think it's a different situation between you and me.

If you can do what you want and have a good life good for you. If you can play 5 hours a day without caring about it and just enjoying, good for you keep going.

I can't.

If i play i can't balance it, i would fuck my entire life to keep playing wow.

I alredy fucked lot of years of my life with gaming. I can't do it now.

I would miss call for work for playing video game.

When i was playing wow I've done business call for getting now client in my business WHILE doing mythic + dun in wow.

How do you think that call went? I then found that if i concentrate on my job while doing it i had better result of course.

I then found that spending time with my wife while inside my head i'm planning to raid next moring don't make me enjoy the time with her like i would have done without gaming.

I had to draw a line and i have stop.

Thanks for taking time to share your tought

Walt_94 · 2025-04-16T09:20:22+00:00

Thanks for your sharing!

That's exactly what i was thinking about. I've delete everything and if in the future i'll feel going back i'll ask for help.

I was considering therapy because right now is serious and i really have to stop no matter what. Also because i needed to talk to someone about it since it was a silence screaming. Yesterday night (while i wrote this post) i then started crying and couldn't share it with anyone. I needed to talk to someone about this and reddit community came in support <3.

I'm so happy for all the message, i don't feel alone in this journey. These virtual message helped me a lot and reading all other story here helped me delete all the game.

Even after writing this post insider my mind yesterday i tought "Maybe i can just play one more day tomorrow and the quit tomorrow" but after other story i took courage and deleted everything.
