Online gaming sites really bring out the kid in you. There are already a lot of websites, like Big Fish Games and Yahoo! Games, that offer free games that you can play online. You can use these sites to unwind a little, maybe during your short breaks at work. The problem sets in when you can’t seem to stop playing a certain game.
How many times have you caught yourself wasting away your precious hours just finishing a level of Diner Dash or Farm Mania? Your promise yourself that you are just going to finish the last level, but three hours has already passed and you are still glued to the game. Work is piling up, and all you can do is run from one table to another to serve food to your customers–at least virtually.
Indeed, working in an environment where the internet is readily available can be very conducive for procrastination. It easily renders you helpless, and you fall prey to the charms of online games.
The solution? Ban gaming sites in your computer. It may be difficult, but if it is the only way to keep your job, then do it.
