Self-control problem

[zehao39]

Hi

I have that problem with me for really longtime. I Am not a guys who really good at self-control, I always play game too much and too late. The second day when I wake up I just hate myself. So is there any program that I can use to limited my gaming time. May be it can stop me open steam or uplay after 11pm or something like that

Guys I really need some help here

hope you all have a good day

Maybe set your phone's alarm at 11pm and once it rings you shut down your computer without excuses? There are probably better solutions, but this is easier and you will need the dedication to overcome your issue,

that is what everyone thinks at first but if zahao39 is saying that he have not self-control.... once the alarm rings he will snooze it off or shut it down, i do not know any program to deny access to programs or apps but you coud set up the router to cut off your internet with a scheduled ip block seting up your times and internet get block at 11pm and unblosck whenever you want

I undersand, but with radical solutions than don't involve actual change in his behaviour he'll get more and more pissed off and won't improve.

yep, totally, I agre with that, so the best solution is to talk to an especialist, i dont know where are you from but i am living in Australia, and here you can call to free psicologist to help you out, it is difficult to get algays the same so they can follow up on you... but at leats you can get tips and strategies to help, they are anonymous, and free, its kind of an emergency number to call in case of real desesperation and before doing something silly, but they are there to help anyone with any problem "size", i used couple of times and it helps a lot.

That is kind of right. I feel there is two people live inside me. There is one want me get all the job done and the one that just want play games. So I need some program that I can use when I am the one who want get all the job done to set a limit.
