Digitizing and organizing old document scans for birth, marriage, and death records would be a huge win for genealogy research. The Mormon church would be a great customer for you.
Further, there’s guides and even coaching to help.
I have no affiliation with them other than as someone who has benefitted tremendously from everything on offer.
Definitely treat this like an addiction. If something, chemical, behavioral, or otherwise is causing your life to suffer, it’s an addiction.
I would guess your child gets more positive feeling from the game than life.
It can take a little time, but there is hope and a healthy way through.
On a related note, my college roommate was exactly the same way. He failed out of college. He worked for a very large game studio by starting at the absolute bottom and then eventually headed a new game category of the type of game he frequently played in college.
He now runs a game studio of his own making multiples of what I do.
As parents, it’s hard to watch a child take a different path than you would expect would be optimal for them, but sometimes they can surprise you by getting out of the local optima you find yourselves in and branch out to something new.
Good luck to you. From someone who previously suffered this same thing, I wish you all the best.
Amazing. I’m looking at building an app to look over the employment sections of the legal code and come back with results if things are allowed or not.
Answering questions like:
Can my employer do X?
As an employee in this country, what’s my minimum days off I can take?
And so on.
If your claims are true, then this will be exactly what I’m looking for.
No. Changing your identity is much more powerful and sort of operates in a background process whereas willpower is more of a conscious foreground one and very difficult to sustain long term.
Read the book. It goes into some detail.
I’ve worked with thousands of people personally over the years to help them with supposedly difficult to treat addictions for instance. Willpower is fine to start, but completely fails in the long term. Identity change is the only thing I’ve found that works long term.
