For a while I’ve been trying strategies to get more things done, and shut up that little annoying voice at the back of my head. Last week, I managed to limit my gaming time by focusing myself to play only after 22:30.

Thinking back about this week, social media might have bigger effect on my lack of productivity than gaming. Even if the total time is smaller, it is spread all over the day, and the overhead cost of frequent context switching is taking its tool. Gaming is a bigger target, easier to hit, but restricting social media might be where it is at…
