Help needed.

During the initial days of WFM I used to take 5 mins break in between where I used to relax or take power naps soon the duration got increased to 30 mins and relaxation got replaced with a quick game ( Dota 2 Turbo mode). Soon this turned into addiction and I used to sit for few hours straight and play the game.

Now I always find an excuse for playing the game and end up screwing my daily office activites.

Continued in the comments.

Approach it in a similar way you would approach any other addiction,
Self Discipline is an important aspect
Limit your gaming time instead of uninstalling and gradually bring it to zero
Keep yourself engaged in other activities if work doesn’t excite you say GMAT prep
For starters you can create a daily schedule and plan out every hour of the day - initially you might stick to the schedule say 50% but gradually if you’re consistent you’ll be disciplined towards your goal.

Cheers and All the Best

I tried uninstalling it but after few hours I just install it back.

Due to this I end up most of my team finding an excuse not to do any work and rather play the game or watch a movie and end up staying all night to finish my work. This is also impacting my GMAT prep.

Any suggestions would be really helpful

Dota is a very addicting game, For that I uninstall steam again and again, It is a lot of work to install steam & download the game (tales around an hour), till that time my urge to play the game is gone, and in the weekends I wake up early just to play the game as a reward of not messing up my work on the whole weekdays. So my suggestion would be not to try to stop playing the game, rather than in a week dedicate good amount of time just to play the game and reward yourself of not messing up with the work.

I was planning to decline a job offer at McKinsey and before I could email he called and asked for final decision and I said I cannot join due to a personal reason, which is the case in reality and just mention I was about to drop an email and apologised for the inconvenience.

He called me unprofessional and said you could have informed. I know I am at fault as well as the offer was released on Monday.

Sort of feeling guilt now, anyways to overcome this?
