My time available for gaming is severely limited, so I'd timebox some time to play, set up a timer and build AFK factories. I noticed that I'd start to find excuses to go to the desk to check an email or pay a bill and would "just check in on my factory" which would turn into "just a quick replenish of my turrets" or to fix an idle driller, then an hour later I'd realize I was 'ate to an appointment.

Later, I set up a private multiplayer server that wouldn't pause on disconnect so that the game wasn't even running on my primary computer.

It's been a while... I should go check on my factory... BRB
