This is going to sound incredibly lazy, but I've found that a good way to keep myself off the internet during break periods (which often leads to extended breaks) is to play a game of Civilization. One turn per break and you'll be so absorbed you won't even think about HN or Reddit.

- angrycoder 16y agoYeah. I'm going to call bullshit here. Nobody has ever played ONE turn of civilization.
- nostrademons 16y agoI've done it. I save the game right before I'm about to uncover a barbarian hut, then move onto it. If I don't like what the random number generator gives me, I load the saved game and do it again. Over and over again. See? I've played ONE turn of Civilization, just repeated about 50 times.
- gwern 16y agoI see. So what's worse than not being to play only one turn of Civilization is being able to play only one turn of Civilization.
- barrkel 16y agoEarly game, no. Late game, it can take 5 or 10 minutes per turn and you may be capturing more than one city per turn during an invasion, I can see it working.
