Game on: USask researcher using video games as antidote to distraction, procrastination

December 20, 2022

Watch On:

Summary

There’s been this demonization of video games, where video games are seen as antithetical to working hard. His theory is that by leveraging video game mechanics, these workers can help combat the procrastination that comes with the burnout of working long hours. During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic Phillips said he would often find himself working longer-than-normal hours in isolation but would break up that time with small video game sessions. “We can use video game manipulations in order to encourage people to enter into a desired state,” he said. Some of his previous work includes investigating the therapeutic benefits of video games, as some players report quantifiable benefits from gaming.
