Sleep
Over the weekend I tried something different when playing my rounds of the game Overwatch. No matter win or lose, I would take 15 minutes break after a match, playing around with a bash script that manipulates TabFS. After working on the script for a bit I would jump back into a match.
Before, I've found myself get into these maddening cycles while playing Overwatch. If I won a match I would instantly queue after, wanting to keep the win streak alive. If I lost a match I would instantly queue after, wanting to break the losing streak. This only brought about emotionally draining sessions that left me feeling worse off than when I started. It wasn't the game's fault. Something had to change.
As I worked with the bash script during these breaks, I fiddled around with adding a sleep command. Then it occurred it me — the process of taking a break was like putting in sleep 15m within the script of playing video games. How much better the script runs when you sprinkle some sleep's here and there.
