Losing Time

What activities do you lose yourself in?

There are three big things that I lose track of time doing. The first is making my digital art. I will shave and tweak and stroke and fill to get things just right. When I’m in a zone I am really out of this world. The next and less productive place where I lose myself is video games. I can spend hours staring at a screen to finish one more quest or on more objective. I can at least put them down when something more urgent requires my attention. The third, least, and most problematic activity that entangles me is arguing online. I want so badly to win that I ignore both immediate tasks and a sense of fair play. I’m also not very good at it but I somehow have a lot of trouble backing down from the challenge. I need to do less of two and three to make time for number one.
