6. My methods Switch to casual games. Games like those that are either educational or just for fun. Not computer games. Fighting games tend to be addictive, so try to avoid them. Eg. Monopoly, Scrabble, Uno, English Chess, Chinese Chess, Reversi, Weiqi, etc Have a reward system. Eg. If I had been doing my homework properly for the last few weeks and I excelled in my examinations, I can play computer games for 1 hour each day during the holidays Have a strict schedule. Allocate time to yourself in an organised and sensible manner. Have a schedule. Eg. 12.00-12.30 lunchtime 12.30-13.00 computer games 13.00-14.00 homework, etc. Have a family trip. Have a trip to the zoo or other places. This will take the mind of playing computer games off you. Single Player Game. Online games tend to be challenging and addictive. Avoiding them will be good. Read, Draw, Write. Drawing, writing, reading, will stop one from thinking about games New Sport. Basketball, Badminton, Football are healthy alternatives to computer games Friends. Staying overnight at someone’s house lets you bond with them better. Housework. This not only distracts you from computer games, you can help using your housework skills Discuss the problem. Talk to experts and professionals
