I’ve noticed similar recently - I used to play Overwatch as a form of “snacking” (rounds are ~10 minutes, so it’s easy to use it to fill up any odd quiet moments); decided to take a break due to the Activision drama… and now suddenly I seem to have an extra 3-4 hours of productivity per day, which I spend working on open source projects. The latter is less of an immediate dopamine injection, but I feel better over all.
- david422 5y agoI noticed similarly, with a game that only takes about 10 minutes - "snacking" is a great way to put it. If I remove the game, I notice that I do have a ton of extra free time, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to really motivate me towards other tasks.
- Jtsummers 5y agoConsider finding something else to "snack" on, digitally speaking. My wife and I are learning Italian (online lessons with a native speaker, presently) in order to be able to speak the language for a trip next year (hopefully, who knows with this chaotic world when it will actually happen, it's been postponed for two years already). Instead of games, I spend my digital snack time on Italian practice (some recommended videos from the teacher, flashcards, etc.).
