This might sound super weird, but whenever I actually find time to go “I have like 4 hours to spare, might as well play a game,” my brain just goes “hey, remember that movie you wanted to watch?” or “hey, remember that thing you wanted to wikipedia?” or “Might as well pay rent now, it’s due in 3 days.”
I just wish my brain would do this when I’m actually bored.
Do you only drift away when gaming, or does it happen for every medium?
Just gaming
You don’t like gaming. Stop doing it for a while and maybe your mind will care about it again.
