Time
Choose an ending time before starting.
When a break matters
Treating entertainment as an income substitute changes the pressure behind decisions. Never risk money needed for essentials. Borrowed money is not a leisure budget.
An urge to recover losses is a signal to pause. More time or a larger amount does not remove uncertainty. Stop at boundaries chosen beforehand.
If sleep, work or relationships suffer, the issue goes beyond scheduling. Speak with someone trusted and seek professional help where needed. You do not have to handle it alone.
