never enough time

I've decided my lack of interest in games has to do with time. I never seem to have enough time to complete the everyday tasks required of me. When you throw game playing time into the mix, I literally feel like everything begins spinning out of control. All summer long I have thoroughly enjoyed playing Farmtown on Facebook. When my family went to bed, I immediately headed to the computer to check the state of things on "my farm." Now, playing Farmtown has become a chore. I was all set to shut the computer down for the night in utter exhaustion, when I remembered I had crops to harvest. I wouldn't want my crops to go to waste because they cost me a lot of points/coins to plant. I had to wait for what seemed like forever for my crops to be harvested and then for my fields to be planted. My initial thought was,"I'm not re-planting, it takes too long. I'm just going to have to quit Farmtown. I can't keep up anymore." I feel like games just suck the very life out of me as they eat away all of my time. Maybe this is why I sometimes hesitate to introduce new games, even board games and center games, into the classroom - I worry about the time they will take. So much of my instructional time gets 'eaten' in transition that I don't think there's time for one extra thing no matter how big or how small. My biggest obstacle to conquer in bringing more games into my classroom is time . . . . I struggle with the idea that taking time to introduce new games will make significant improvements in instruction and learning. So maybe for a final project, I need to do a mini research project to determine if an increase in game time results in an increase in learning???
