video game backlog
Overwhelmed by your video game backlog? We've got tips.
Try going into a play session with a predetermined time commitment in mind and a visual cue to reference throughout. Set a timer, or better yet, a visual timer to give your brain a reference point to latch onto. Visual timers are designed to show time passing in a way that, at a glance, you can see the amount of time remaining. Different types use different visual cues: sand timers, liquid timers or color-coded countdown clocks. Knowing a game's runtime can only help so much if you experience time blindness, or the inability to correctly gauge the passing of time, another common symptom of ADHD.
