You can do a lot with parental controls - but I think to get what you want you will have to buy something.

Are you really that lacking in self discipline?😕

OP...I must agree with charlieegan3 that total dependance on electronic aids to maintain self discipline will ill serve you throughout your life. There are MANY situations in which electronic aids to self control will not be available and you will find yourself in trouble. It is developmentally essential to develope internalized techniques of self control that will serve you in situations lacking electronic aids. 🙂

Internal controls are important but committing to a timer is a good first step. You can get so caught up in a game like minecraft that you lose track of time. Just setting the timer requires internal discipline.

I tried the timer concept on my old PC, but then I moved on to games that require more thought and involvement so that I'm 'brain-tired' before I've spent too much time on the game.
