Or I do actually start playing it, get about an hour in, stop, and not touch the game again for weeks, if at all.
This carries over to the rest of life, like Witchblade says. I actually have paid my friends to come over and clean my apartment for me, because I lack the energy or motivation to do so. This is abnormal for me, I used to do a full clean of my apartment every Saturday and a once-over every Wednesday, as well as just generally keeping my place clean. The first time I had them over, they took out 20 pizza boxes going back as far as 6 months prior. Now, I do dispose of food and biodegradable stuff as often as I can, so it's not like I have literal filth all over the place, no moldy food or fungus or bad smells. Just piles of boxes, empty grocery bags, discarded amazon packaging, etc.
I also can barely get 3 hours of solid sleep every night. I spend about an hour in bed, get uncomfortable and/or brain one shut up which stresses me out, move to my computer chair for about 2 hours, then repeat the cycle until my alarm goes off. And now that I work from home, all of the above is even worse. I just don't have the energy to do anything but sit here and stare at my monitors all day long, with the occasional clicking to find the next video/movie to stare at for long periods of time.
