BF2S Forums My Addiction: Battlefield 2

By playing BF2 you are thinking in the very short term. There's plenty of time for games, but not plenty of time for school work. Your peers are all home doing homework, and the school's not going to be understanding regarding your gaming habits, so might as well not make life difficult for yourself and do the work. I assure you that the joy from coming first in the class in a subject, or being awarded and recognised academically, is far far far greater than going a good round in BF2.

First, know and convince yourself that playing BF2 like this is disgustingly irresponsible. Second, you need a plan of action. I take it that it's become habitual for you to kick up BF2 everytime you get home, which eventually ends up taking your whole night, every night. This means that your BF2 addiction is just "the next step" you're used to doing in your routine after getting home.

So all you need to do is initiate some change. Change your routine. Change where you study. Do everything differently compared to what you normally would do. Work at the library for a while. Work in the dining room. Don't turn on the computer. Rather than playing BF2, get something to eat, then do some work. Your goal is to take BF2 out of your daily routine. Don't think of playing BF2 as being normal, think of it as a leisure activity only.

If BF2 is still so tempting, then uninstalling it for the sake of your studies is the best course of action.

Hi my name is Brandon, it is really hard for me to do homework because right when I'm about to do it I just go to the computer and start up BF2. I really want to do good in school, but every time I say I'm gonna do my homework I don't do it and end up playing hours of BF2. What should I do?

You just need better time management.
Certainly in the lead up to exams, I force myself to revise, revise and revise some more. My mind mentally cannot go to an exam unprepared.
Ive only ever failed 1 achademic exam in my life (driving test doesnt count ), and that was by 1% last year.

I apply the same principle to coursework. You just need to focus your mind. Think about earning that BF2 medal a week later. BF2 will still be around after exams, coursework or whatever. So you miss out on a week or whatever, so what.

For me, working 4 days a week and 1 being at Uni, I force myself to do work once a week at the minimum - leaving every other night free to do what I want - social, BF2 or whatever else.

this reminds me of 7th and 8th grade
