Video game addiction

Do you think we can fight video games addiction by making annoyingly monotonous versions of a video game, then have the game switch from the regular version to the monotonous one when a close friend, girlfriend, boyfriend or family member thinks we're getting too addicted to it? The benefit with extreme, annoying monotony is that the addict gets upset with the game and not with the people around him telling him he's addicted. He loses interest in the game 'naturally'. Any other ideas out there?

The right to be lazy sometimes..

It's May Day and I'm feeling rather lazy sitting at home with nothing planned for today. Been reflecting about my work. In general, I love what I do but sometimes I get these moments where I feel totally burnt out and just want to lie down and do nothing. Like who doesn't, right? I just want to be lazy but as I question what motivates me to go to work, I wonder if we not only have a right to be lazy but also an obligation. For what if I let myself get totally lazy, so lazy that I feel lazy about being lazy and don't want to be lazy anymore, instead I want to go back to work. It's probably an absurd way to motivate oneself this way but it works. I guess laziness has its merits too :)
