I've been having the same problem recently. I seem to always be picking up games, maybe playing them for one gaming period (1-6 hours) and then putting them down and never touching them. It's not that I don't enjoy them. I certainly do. I think it's more of a problem of not remembering to play them. And when I do, I keep thinking that I should be doing something else.

Or I figure "hey, I want to play this game." But then I notice the clock and see that I'm going to be doing something in an hour, so I don't want to get wrapped up in one. And so I put it off. Or I say "okay, one more hubski article" and just sit on here all day (or reddit). Hell, I'll even refresh and lurk on my usual sites (reddit, hubski, zeldainformer) instead of sitting down and playing a game.

Then I feel like shit because I haven't played a game and I got nothing accomplished. It's a horrible feeling. So I'm trying to fix it. Set aside time to be productive and work on stuff. And then put aside time to game and have fun. That way I do both instead of neither.
