Career Builder examines six "bad habits" that may actually help you focus at work and decompress after a long day. Video games are number one on the list. From the article: "Dr. Kathleen Hall, founder of the Stress Institute and author of A Life in Balance: Nourishing the Four Roots of True Happiness recommends 10 to 15 minutes of online computer play to refresh and get you ready to work... Current studies show that certain games and game time can actually help kids concentrate."This all being cited in moderation of course, so I don't think my 10-15 hours of daily "online computer play" with Joystiq bloggers Ludwig and James qualify.
