There is also a difference between entertainment and a hobby, not everything you read is a hobby and neither is every video game, most are entertainment (which is perfectly fine). Books do not have teams of developers who attempt to keep you engaged through hacking your neuro-psychological feedback loops for continued engagement and compensation. There is a great difference in that books have set termination points (end of the paragraph, page, chapter, book,etc) that more easily allow you to terminate the activity and move onto another activity while most modern video games do not have clear termination points as book do and because of that you can easily fall into the "one more quest/battle/etc" loop. I don't think it would apply to books in spite of your gilded comment. And once i'm done I walk back passed the shelf i set up and always grab a book or two off and go read in bed until i'm dozing off. An hour or so before bed i'll set my alarm for the next day, put my phone down for the day and go to brush my teeth.

These little steps afford me a little less stress and a little more space in the morning and quick way to decompress once home, figure out how you can be nice to you! Even if its future you!ĮDIT Using Organization Psychology on yourselfīest sleep i've had yet was accomplished by setting up a small bookshelf near my bathroom. One of the nicest gestures you can do yourself is pack future you a bowl of cannabis, when I do that the next day I always thank past me! However I treat night me the best, seasoning a piece of steak/protein the night before so once i'm home I can just turn the burner and have a healthy protein in 10 minutes with minimal prep. Heck keeping a tooth brush in the shower! I do this! I think of it as being nice to future me! Prepping the coffee pot/kettle the night before so I can flick a button the next morning is beautiful, putting the next days outfit in the bathroom so the next morning I can mindlessly stumble into the shower.
