You play too much? I don’t mean to be insulting, but how many times have you been on a flight and had to pull up your seat next to someone you knew because you couldn’t keep your eyes from the screen? When was the last time you did that? I think it’s just part of being in a new environment and new people, new friends, and new situations.
Its a very common phenomenon, and it can be a big problem, particularly in a crowded airport. One of the first things we do when we get into a new place is always look around. The first thing we look at is the people. We want to make sure they’re okay, but at the same time we have to keep in mind the security of everyone else around us.
People are so used to living in a constant state of fear that in a new place, they’re so used to having a constant sense of paranoia. One of the things we talk about on this podcast is the difference between paranoia and paranoia. The word paranoid means that you’re convinced that something is wrong, but its not something you can prove.
To be comfortable and to know that nothing bad is going to happen, it helps to know that there is something to be paranoid about. When we have this knowledge, we’re able to function calmly. When we’re paranoid, we have to figure out a way to be calm.
I know this sounds like we have to be paranoid to be calm, but this is exactly the state of mind to which we’re looking for. When we are paranoid, we are afraid that something could happen, but we can’t prove that anything is really wrong. In this state of mind, we are unable to make decisions we need to about anything.
We are also able to function in this state of mind because we are trying to be calm. When we are calm, we are able to make decisions that we need to have a solid plan for. When we are not calm, we have to figure out what is wrong first and then what we need to do to fix it. In this case we are trying to fix things that don’t seem to be working out.
It’s possible that the lack of a proper plan for this situation is what is causing the game to be so chaotic. Although, it is possible that the game is chaotic because we are trying to be too calm, which makes us unable to analyze the situation and make a plan. We may have to wait until we get to a place where we can calm down and think clearly.
I always tell myself that the most successful times happen in the slowest way possible. The best plan for one time I had was to plan in stages. First I wanted to find a way to fix the problem, then I would start to think about what we would need to do to fix the problem. By the time I was ready to commit to the plan, it was already too late.
When it comes to playing too much, the best advice I can give is to try to do it in the slowest possible way. There’s nothing worse than going to a meeting or a party and being completely exhausted and unproductive. We can’t play games or work or study at the same time. We have to play with the rest of the team, take in a show, or read a book.
The best advice I can give to those of you who find yourself playing too much is to try to do it in a way that gives you the time you need to play. If you only play one hour of a game, then you’re probably going to be bored. If you only play for fifteen minutes, then your time is worthless. That’s the key for any game-playing.
