A quotation from Tolstoy

Memento mori — remember death! These are important words. If we kept in mind that we will soon inevitably die, our lives would be completely different. If a person knows that he will die in a half hour, he certainly will not bother doing trivial, stupid, or, especially, bad things during this half hour. Perhaps you have half a century before you die — what makes this any different from a half hour?

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) Russian novelist and moral philosopher
Path of Life [Calendar of Wisdom; Круг чтения], ch. 21 “Living in the Present,” sec. 5.12 (1903-1911) [(tr. Cote (2002)]

Unser Kind nutzt ein altes Smartphone von mir ausschließlich als Mediengerät, also zum Anhören von Musik und Hörgeschichten. Das ist ein #Fairphone 2 mit dem damals dafür entwickelten OS "Fairphone Open". Das OS wird, glaube ich, nicht mehr aktualisiert. Aber da das Gerät sowieso nichts im Internet machen muss (außer ab und zu ev. ein App-Update), ist das egal. Für technische Einschränkungen nutzen wir #TimeLimit aus dem @fdroidorg Store.

#DailyBloggingChallenge (258/300)

The parent category has stronger restrictions.

1. #MobileGaming is only permitted from 12:00 - 22:00.
2. During those times, the total gaming time permits only 2h.
3. There is the option to earn 5min extra time if one does 5min #PhysicalTraining session.

These general restrictions were also put on other engineered binging technology like mainstream #SocialMedia.

#TimeLimit

#DailyBloggingChallenge (257/300)

#TimeLimit has the option to have parent categories. This eases the behavior over multiple child categories.

If we continue from the #MobileGaming example, they all have the same parent.

#DailyBloggingChallenge (205/250)

There is one game that one surface is an #IdleGame, but in a more active way. Meaning one has missions where the units cannot be engaged with while en route. These missions last from anywhere of 30 s to 1 h. Thus the #TimeLimit app is adjusted to these properties and set as 15 min active followed by 1 h break.

This game is basically a time management game and it is #TrainStation2.

#DailyBloggingChallenge (204/250)

Currently there are two kinds of games that I fancy #IdleGame and #TowerDefence games.

The way that they differ in regards to the #TimeLimit app is that the idle games get small play time of 10 min followed by 4 h break, where as the tower defence games get longer play time of 30 min followed by even longer break of 8 h.

This is tailored such that one can quickly progress in the idle games and gets more enjoyment when one actually has the resources. Where as by tower defence games, one is actively playing thus more leeway is given in the moment, but frequency is not required throughout the day, since there is little benefit in the idle time.

#MobileGaming

#DailyBloggingChallenge (203/250)

Have played with two time formats so far and need to probably adjust it a third time.

My findings so far:

• 20 min per gaming session is way too long
• 5 min per gaming session is way too short and almost always extended by another 10 min
• the break between each gaming session is currently at 2 h, which is too long for some games

Thus will need to adjust the #TimeLimit app on the various games instead of grouping them altogether.

#DailyBloggingChallenge (202/250)

In the past the app #TimeLimit has helped to stop social media binging, though with gaming the same cannot be said.

The main difference is the task that has been cut short might be (subjectively) mission critical in a game. Thus one gets the feeling of incompleteness and almost automatically extends one’s permitted timer.
