I see this excuse a lot, and I really wonder how much of it is accurate, or how much of it is just that...an excuse. The fact that we're spending time talking, writing, and debating on a forum dedicated to VIDEO GAMES (a hobby) means that we all have some amount of down time. If you truly do not have enough hours in the day, I would think that you probably wouldn't have time to game, or at least amass hundreds and thousands of posts on a message board. I think a lot of people oversell how busy they actually are. |
At times in your life it can be true but not for 10 years lol.
Sometimes you just want to be alone away from the world when you want to focus or recharge
But overall you are right. Time is how we manage and the sacrifices we make.
I have two jobs, one official one self personal interest which hopefully one day becomes the only one.
I wake up 7am shower quickly then do my personal interests tasks. I get to my job by 10am. Leave 6-7pm. Then at 7-8pm I am doing my personal interest work. That takes up my time up to about 3-4am. During periods of the day I come to this forum to unwind and read about games. It is almost 4am now here.
As for relationships. With my gf at the time now my wife. I worked a full time job and at the same time did full time study for my MBA. I sacrificed my weekends to go to classes and do assignments between 1am and 4am. After work I would catchup with my gf for 3-4 hours a day. It would have been just as easy to say you know what i CBFed seeing you. Lets just catch up Sunday. COuld have done my assignments earlier and slept by 12am.
