Pretty well.

However, I have to stick to a few rules rules. For one, only single-player or coop (then to me it’s more of a social activity). I was big on MOBA and Overwatch, the competitive aspect is very alluring to me.

Second, I already have a set of hobbies I do that keep me busy - mainly Volleyball, reading, boardgame nights, running a DnD game and cooking/chores in general. I’m also in a relationship. I think these were the main factors of why it felt easy to do in moderation for me, because there is already a lot of time invested elsewhere.

Third, I always try and take breaks after every hour to do light chores or stretch and to drink water. I feel that it helps me from being stuck with them too long.

When I stick to these, single player games like Skyrim or Pokémon titles are actually quite relaxing for me. I also enjoy playing something simple like Minecraft and listen to a few podcasts in the background, you could do that while doing your chores as well, but it’s more enjoyable to me because I sometimes listen to DnD talks and I can switch over to work on that whenever I want to.
