It is true that computer gaming can be addictive, especially when you are young and still a student. You would prefer playing rather than studying. Your parents get mad you because you waste much of your time playing than having to do house chores. You fail your subjects at school so your dad yelled at you. Yeah, computer gaming is fun, but you have to remember that you still have responsibilities and other things that you need to attend to. This are some helpful tips in balancing your time between your computer gaming and the many other things that you have to do.
You have to know how to budget your time. Make a list of the things that you have to do in a day. These things mean the important things like doing house chores, reviewing for exams, tidying up your room, taking a bath etc etc. Then allocate ample time that you think is needed to finish that task. After all things have been scheduled, you now will be able to see some time to play the computer. You have to remember that you should only have one hour to two hours for gaming, then the rest will be given to your studies.
While at school, focus in your studies. You have to neglect all inhibitions of your favorite character in the computer game that you play. You got to stay focused, say a little mantra to not lose concentration while you are at school, something like "Study now, play later.' You can also think of playing the computer as a reward that if you finish your home works early, you play the computer early.
If you get addicted to computer gaming, a lot of negative effects are more likely to hit you in the face. Like being unhealthy, yes, it is true, your health can grow poor when you barely have time to work out or exercise. You also can have a bad posture due to your computer gaming. Your eyesight may go a little blur because of the radiation that your eyes are getting from the computer. You can have your hand muscles strained. You too, can lose your social life. If you value computer gaming more than your friends, they are more likely to move away from you, there will be some sort of gap between you and your friends. It will be lonely being alone with a dumb computer with you.
So you got to remember to have a balanced gaming and studying plan. Set your priorities and know your responsibilities. Computer gaming is invented to pass time, not to be used as an alternative to your usual living routine. You are a human, not specie from some sort of computer game. ?
Use your computer only for recreation not for addiction; it cannot lead you to a whole new and positive way of life. Yeah, it can also be educational, but not most of the time. You still need to communicate to the world of the living.
