I get burnout on playing game about every other month. Unfortunately its usually when I have free time and I don't go back for about 2-4 weeks. I play like crazy when I have projects due but I guess that's cause I've always turned to games to help me de-stress.
People have their reasons to sell off their collection but I wouldn't sell my collection unless I absolutely had to. I traded games in once when I was in middle school cause "I was too cool to play kids games" I regret it so much.
It sounds like procrastination in your case? I mean before you have projects.
I do procrastinate but I always stress myself out when I don't really need to. I mean I could be done with a project had it looked over and it be good but still worry. So I guess I'm saying I play when I am stressed/depressed cause I just always done that.
But yeah there are times when I get like a 4 day weekend and get luck to where all my professors say to their classes to take it easy and I get excited to have some free time. But when I go home sit and look at my shelf and just not feel like playing anything.
