As a young entrepreneur, I do my best to stay within my daily schedule which sums up to 4-5 hours of sleep 12 hours of work and personal studying, 2 hours of recreation/misc. and finally at least five hours of “online gaming” on Mobile Legends, League of Legends, WOW, and at least an hour on Fable 3 (trying to complete the stupid gnome quest)
as an avid gamer myself, all I can say is, depending on who it is or what he or she is playing, gaming has actually showed an increase in productivity levels such are the following effects:
- Quick thinking and decision-making.
- Multitasking.
- Problem solving skills.
- Reading and math skills.
- Teamwork.
- Perseverance.
However, video games can also negatively influence a person’s health and well-being:
- Playing video games too long can affect one’s mind and can cause some health issues.
- Video games can create aggressive thoughts and allow a person to anger easily, which in turn could make workplace frustrations more difficult to handle.
- Video games can become addictive and difficult to get away from.
- Playing video games can also affect a person’s communication skills, making them socially isolated.
Over all video games nowadays provide us with positive effects that far out weigh the negative effects in terms of productivity, so if you ever find yourself regretting playing to much video games just apply all the hard work you put in your gaming life into your personal life.
