What if life were a video game?

Oliver Emberton wrote a strategy guide for real life as if it were a video game.

You might not realise, but real life is a game of strategy. There are some fun mini-games โ€” like dancing, driving, running, and sex โ€” but the key to winning is simply managing your resources.

Most importantly, successful players put their time into the right things. Later in the game money comes into play, but your top priority should always be mastering where your time goes.
