Yeah, I’m feeling that way about MMOs right now as well. And yes, breaking out the of the “DO THE THINGS. DO THEM NOW.” mindset has been tough! This post was very much a call-out for myself as well.

I know that in some ways, that’s a result of the intended game play loop, but man, I also know it’s a me problem as well.

With life here having slowed to a crawl, I keep telling myself that it’s ok to just have fun for the sake of having fun, but man, breaking out of that “SO MANY THINGS NEED TO BE DONE” mindset – both in regular life and in the gaming / blogging / hobby space – is so very hard for me.
