Anyone else having a hard time balancing out School/Work with Video Games?

I'm a freshman in highschool and it is excruciatingly hard to balance my School and Social Life with Video Games. I wish I had more time. especially since I don't like using walkthroughs.

anyone else on the same boat?

Yes as it is now I only have like 5 hours a day to play video games and then I have to study for like an hour. But usually I get bored and play video games instead.

I don't have a social life or play video games that much. And I don't have very much homework at all. I guess we've got sort of the opposite here. *sigh* I wish I had something to do.

Haha, wait until you have to work for a living.

...If you like something enough, you can always find time. My schedule includes: Full-Time work, Part-Time College, Fiance, Home to take care of, and I still find ample time to game.

I work 8-9 hours a night (I work graveyards), Mon-Fri

Go to to School for 3 hours, Wednesday

Do work for my classes for about an hour a day, Everyday

Sleep for about 5-7 hours, Everyday

Clean house, pay bills, run errands for 1-3 hours a week

...and I get anywhere between 10 and 50 gaming hours per week. (I sometimes sacrifice sleep to play).

Yeah, its okay to an extent.

However, having to sacrifice sleep to enjoy a hobby isn't always fun.

Just a quick piece of advice for you.

Whatever you do first thing in the morning will set the tone for the rest of your day.

If in the morning you put your mind on schoolwork, you will focus on that.

If in the morning you have a quick game, you'll be thinking about it all day long.

So make it a habit to open your bookbag in the morning, go thru your class notes and organize everything. That will set you up for a productive day.

If gaming interferes with life, you have to cut it.

Life comes first.

No, my school days ended well over a decade ago in the late 90s. Back then I focused more on my studies with gaming being a weekend thing and sometimes a night thing if I didn't have any other studies to be doing.Smokescreened84

Not really, but starting college next year is really gonna do a number on my gaming.

:(

[QUOTE="gamertylers"] Well, at least you always have something to do. Too much free time can really suck.dkdk999

Freshman in high school eh? Ah I remember it like it was yesterday.. If you think being a freshman in high school is cutting into your time, wait until you're a freshman in college like myself. Toughest part is thinking about what you want to do in life. Make sure you figure that out in high school.

Not school work, but i seriously need to stop playing video games and other gaming related stuff. I'm literally getting nothing done, but i've saying this for ages and can't help myself.
