I played all day two days ago but I always regret it when I do that. I have so many things to do everyday that I can't really spare 6+ hours for a video game, yet quarantine has made it easy to forgo ALL structure and routine.

Currently trying to fix my sleeping schedule and I unfortunately have taken up a stubborn habit of playing before bedtime, which always leads to me getting distracted and playing far too late into the night. And then the next morning when it's time to wake at 6, I suffer for it horribly lol! I never learn my lesson though it seems.
I used to do this when I was in high school, with New Leaf. But it only made things worse. Especially staring at a screen all day. It's never a healthy thing to neglect your day-to-day responsibilities for a video game. It will feel really great while it's happening, but in the end it always leads to looking up and being shocked at how much time has passed without any progress in any corner of life that matters. Not just hours, in terms of time either -- days, weeks, months. And the dread that comes with that feeling is not worth the temporary pleasure of playing nonstop.
I wish I was still a little kid with no responsibilities or ambitions or bills to pay, so that I could just play all day. But all the wishing in the world won't make it happen.

I think it's easier for going through spells of this to be forgiven right now in quarantine though. But it'll be super hard to break once we all have to resume "normal".
