Lesson 12. Give up gaming.

Ghostbusters made this style of logo popular, but I think it was first well know for the 'no-smoking' signs with the red circle with a line through it. There is a wide range of things you can give up at Give It Up. But the one that spoke to me is the give up video games design. I've been seduced by their allure myself in the past. I missed hours of sleep (and probably other more exciting activities) by being hooked on a game that I know i will do better at with just 'one more go'. time flies when you're staring at a computer game interface. And at the end of the game, you don't have much to show for it except bags under your eyes and a vitamin D deficiency from not getting enough sun.

I should point out, I'm not trying to persecute gamers. Some of my best friends are gamers! But if they asked me for advice (as if!) I'd tell them to give up their Play Stations, X boxes and Nintendos. And start blogging.
