Wow seems that kanban is a great system to follow! I usually failed to implement any productivity system due to my lack of willpower. For the youtube thing, I recently unsubscribed all the YouTuber posting videos about games and minor stuff like food and makeup. Then I started to forget them and never watch their clips again. My time with mindless youtube also decreased. I recommend you to do so if you still haven't done that. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I too wish you all the best!

Thank you for your heartwarming message ! Glad that I can still choose majors that unrelated to games. Let's work hard together!

Hello yellow! Thanks for your sharing and I am sure that your journey can indeed inspire others! I initially only wanted to quit gaming but after reading your journal I realise that meaningless browsing is also a problem. Although I stop gaming, I spend 3~4 hours a day browsing and watching YouTube, leaving the school work behind. I probably should consider stop meaningless browsing. Painting is really a great habit to develop. I have no interest to other things except drawing and gaming. So drawing really saves me that it lets me to be admitted to an art college. It can also be started without much money. If you haven't drawn before, I suggest you to start with reading The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain . You will undestand the principle behind drawing and will be able to draw a realistic self portrait after trying the exercises.

Welcome! I am new too and let's work together!! (English is my second language too and I am still feeling uncomfortable when I have to use English in my new international school haha)

I am a 18 years old girl from Hong Kong. I loved gaming so much that I gave up my admission to Chinese medicine degree of university in Hong Kong in order to study in international art college. I am having my foundation classes now, hoping to become a game artist. However, I realize things doesn't go my way as long as I keep the habit of playing video games. I studied science subjects in my high school and I feel extremely difficult to catch up in art college. Although I had lots of spare time when I was in high school, I spent all of them playing video games instead of sharpening my drawing skills. Even now, I always use the excuses of ‘getting inspiration from other games in order to become a great game artist’ to continuously play games and escape from my homework. My grades are far from satisfactory now and I really don't think I can achieve my goal if I keep doing things this way. So I decide to quit video games. Although I love games and they are my main composition of life, and I am not sure whether a person who wants to become a game artist should stop gaming, I just can't see my future if I still spend 8 hours a day playing video games. I made countless commitment to myself that I should play less and do the important things first but I was failed. So the only choice for me is to quit. If my passion for games faded after quitting, I think I will major in illustration or visual effects instead or try to get admitted to other universities. This is the second day of my quitting and I am really depressed as if I experienced a breakup. Sorry for my grammar too as English is my second language. I am trying my best to survive in international college, where most of the students are English native speakers. I wish you a nice day and let us work together for a better future!!!
