If you read my book then you know I have some bad habits.
When Starcraft II came out I bought that and played a lot of custom maps. When I hit certain benchmarks I would play a couple games. Then that got old and diablo came out... same thing but that got old even quicker. Now what.
Last winter I was super stressed and decided one day to buy a pack of smokes.
Bad decision.. Or was it? I would limit myself to being able go go out and smoke until I got a set of goals done. That month I brought in more revenue then the last 6 combined and it was reoccurring revenue so even more badass.
That went on for a couple months. I didn't smoke a ton and it was ONLY while at the office but.... I knew I had to kick it and one afternoon I did.
But now what. Well I found a game called Guild Wars 2. Its a MMORPG like World Of Warcraft. The big thing with MMORPG games for me was I had to be careful not to get too sucked into the game. These things can own you if your not careful.
My point really I know people that play a ton of games or do bad things. What has worked VERY well for me is to use them as a reward system. Its walways interesting to see how fast you can get stuff done to get what you want.
