Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - I am having trouble balancing work and fun

I have uninstalled all my computer games, restricted access to certain websites, and taken other measures to ensure that my time is not ill spent. As a result my productivity has increased, but not substantially because I have found other ways to spend my time. I feel like I am not focusing on doing the right thing. I want to be able to remain productive, but at the same time be able to enjoy playing the occasional game of Halo. The thing is I dunno how to do this, to have such self discipline as not to play any games until I get all or enough work done. I don't like this idea of having "x->y" time for work and "y->z" time for play. I don't want to zone my time out, I just want to be almost Spartan about my time and efficiency, but still be able to play a little or go out for some time.

thoughts/opinions?
