Do we have everyone attention? Now do exactly that. Stop playing your favorite game. Do you want to need star wars galaxies when you play the game? Not forever, just for now. Just let it rest and play something else for a while. That is the idea proposed by Bio Break in an entry about letting go. The idea, as it is put forth, is that the best way to fight burnout is to prevent it from happening in the first place. If you are really enjoying a game and are just a few days away from a major goal, why not put it down and savor that instead of pushing forward until the game has stopped being fun?
Of course, it is hard for us to behave that way if we are enjoying a game, our inclination is to keep playing until we are not, at which point burnout kicks in and we start almost dreading logging in. But it is an interesting idea and a different approach to keeping ourselves engaged. It is a lot easier to go back to a game if you have just let it sit for a while and have had some time to think about it fondly without being reminded of its blemishes. Absence can indeed make the heart grow fonder, and perhaps you should let your favorite game be absent for just a little while. You will still be almost at your next major checkpoint when you get back, after all.
At last I only want to say if you play the game you will like it and I hope you enjoy your time here!
