I wasted much of my youth playing video games. In high school and college, I'd get home at 2 p.m. and be glued to the screen by 3 a.m. By 6:45 a.m. I was back on my feet, exhausted. I repeated that cycle for years, until I was almost 23. I wasted time, energy, and opportunities. It wasn't until I met my current wife that something changed. She helped me break that pattern.
