Exam’s 2 months out and I keep telling myself I’ll shut the game off at a set time so I can still get an hour of studying in before bed, but it almost never actually happens, I look up and it’s already way past when I meant to stop.
Tried just picking 9pm as the cutoff, closing the laptop, whatever, and some nights that works and other nights it’s “one more round” and that’s the whole night gone, again!
Job applications are already eating into study time during the day, so the evening’s kind of the only block I’ve got left, and I don’t want to spend all of it gaming and then resent myself for it either, but I also don’t want zero downtime becuase that’s not sustainable with 2 months of this ahead.
Has anyone actually made a cutoff time stick, or is it more about just not starting a session you know you can’t finish in the time you’ve got?
