I got back into gaming by picking one title per month and setting 60-90 min sessions, timer on. I listen to podcasts only during chill grind (driving in GTA, farming), but mute for story or PvP. I also put a walking pad under the desk for open world roaming so it still feels constructive. When I can’t choose, I shortlist three games and flip a coin to start, finish or drop it after five hours. For purchases or DLC, I check cdkeyprices to compare legit stores and see region-lock notes, it’s saved me a bit without messing with grey-market keys.
