gloriousclover Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hello, my name is Jason, 29 years old, been playing video games since I was in junior high.I spend anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of my spare time outside of work playing video games or just mindless browsing surfing etc. This ramps up to anywhere from 15-30 hours a week basically pissing around and wasting precious time of my precious life. I struggle with procrastination. Despite really enjoying some non-gaming activities, I've always wondered why I can't develop a strong passion in anything. Since finding the Game Quitters website and watching a couple videos I now strongly believe that entertainment and over stimulation are holding me back. Very key in all this is the whole concept of the challenge/rewards that games give. I would much rather challenge and reward myself with skills/achievements that I can be proud of.My goal is that by going through this journey I will learn to really live in the moment at every point in my life, and increase my productivity substantially. At this point in time I'll be happy with a 75% utilization of my free time (whatever productive will mean for me). This is also the first time I've used a forum, I don't know what else to say at this point other than I'm feeling both hesitant and exited about quitting. But... I have to delete all my games... and I'm going to do it. Right now.Cheers!Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul A. Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Welcome Jason!Productivity is a big part of why I decided to quit. As you go through your time as a non gamer, you will find you have a lot more energy/motivation to do things, which will help your productivity substantially. But at the same time, I advise you set yourself little goals each day, don't try to do everything in one go. Take it one day at a time. Good job on deleting your games, I wish you luck in your game quitting journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
