Gaming: Procrastination Techniques > Endless Loop > Procrastination Sickness

Warning: Prolonged gaming sessions can cause Procrastination Sickness. Symptoms include:

• Complete neglect of responsibilities
• Irregular sleep patterns
• Increased consumption of junk food and energy drinks
• Uncontrollable urges to check "just one more level"

Causes

Research suggests that Endless Loop is a result of a complex interplay between dopamine release and the human brain's inability to distinguish between "just one more level" and "one more level, then I'll get started on my prophets assignment, I swear."

Other contributing factors include:

• Unrealistic gaming goals and expectations
• Lack of self-control in the face of loot boxes and microtransactions
• Unhealthy gaming environment (e.g., gaming chair too comfy, snacks too plentiful)

Treatment

There is no known cure for Procrastination Sickness, but there are some experimental treatments:

• Seeking professional help from a gaming addiction specialist
• Establishing a daily routine (good luck with that)
• Setting realistic gaming goals (like beating the game in 5 hours or less)
