How to motivate myself to do games? I have an answer

[Ikagura]

When you do marathons you reach a point you don't want to play games of the same series anymore as we naturally tend to get bored of doing the same thing.

This is why I haven't finished to do all Wario Land nor Klonoa games for several years. I have found a way to slowly but surely do the rest of the franchise (thankfully both have few games in each) by making a list and motivating myself to do it.

Making lists (either on PC or in a physical notebook) is good to make a plan on the order of games to do. Next is to have the right mindset and motivation into doing them.

Finally: plan how many hours are required to complete it and indulge yourself to do a pause, it shouldn't be a daily job.

PS: Of course it's not the same for everybody but never get discouraged by the mountain of games in a backlog.

I used to try to marathon game series but never finished them or got halfway through the second or third game and burned out. Now I try not to play games in same series back to back or play 2 long RPGs at the same time. Branching out into a lot of diverse genres can also prevent burnout.

It depends of the series. I remember having done MGS and MGS 2 back-to-back but when I started Snake Eater I got bored...

These are waste of time to just finish long difficult/bored but attractive games series.

Im Use Cheats/trainers/mods to quikly run finished them for good.
