I lately realized that a vice can be useful or destructive to the life you want.
Gaming enslaves some yet empowers others.
By this definition, a true vice is harmful to you.
Therefore I follow a distinct process to figure out whether a vice or any other habit is truly a vice, or not.
The process is simple:
Validate:
- look at evidence, anecdotes and science
Evaluate:
- does it serve or waste you?
Test:
- stop it entirely for a week or so
I know we all have our own ways to clean our vices
I use Notion to organize this process and give it a more βgamifiedβ feel.
How about you?
