Is it possible that too much #gamification is bad for mental health?
I've been slowly been removing experiences that seem to leave me with #anxiety. Over the last year I've stopped playing #freemium mobile games.
At the beginning of the week I stopped my daily #Duolingo lessons. I purposefully broke my #streak. By Wednesday I was less anxious, but agree that it may just be coincidental.
Overall, Duolingo is a net positive experience, so how do I start up again without overdoing it?

A good question. I avoid games on my phone because I avoid my phone, I just hate the interface. It might be good that Mastodon is slow slow on it, I don't check it as much. But I have been playing games on a tablet and sometimes it is hard to stop even when I am tired. I have been practicing quitting in the middle of a game. WIP.
