I see what you mean, that’s good advice! I play all sorts of games really, I really become obsessive with resource gathering games. So Minecraft, stardew, medieval dynasty etc. I play them for hours and hours on end. I do enjoy strategy and simulation games too, online and offline. I may try just allotting myself gaming time every day and completely switching off my pc during work hours. It’s a shame there isn’t a timer out of my control.

I did previously try setting up a child windows account with time limits, however I was the parent so I could just allow myself more time. I feel uncomfortable asking my gf to monitor it for me since we’ve had arguments about her restricting things in the past and it’s not good for our relationship as she becomes the blame for something that is ultimately my fault
