Yeah, I know. You either study or play, I agree. For this reason I’d like to find a game that I can check twice every hour, that just keeps going in the meantime.
This is because I hate studying, I’m very bad at it and I don’t really get a feeling of progession and accomplishment while doing so. I’d like to trick my brain into getting those feelings, even if it’s for the wrong reason (it should work).
About the game, I’d like for it to be a game I can actually play from time to time, which is why I don’t think autoclickers will do the trick for me (but I’m open to try). I was thinking about Minecraft prison servers, where you had to grind to get materials and then sell them, or some kind of sandbox RPG where I can autofarm endlessly.

A little late to the party, maybe you’ve found your game already and I’m not sure if this is what you search for, but what I did, while writing my master’s thesis, was playing Stardew Valley.
It’s cozy for the most part. The game auto saves after you finish an ingame day (it saves when you wake up the next morning if I remember correctly). Days were for me roughly 15-25 minutes, depending on how far I was in the game.
So what I did was play a day in Stardew Valley, then write my thesis for a while, play another day, write my thesis, play two days, write my thesis and so on. (I admit, there were days where I played more, but hey, I finished my thesis!)
Hey, thank you for sharing! Unfortunately this never worked for me, I just kept thinking of the game even aftee the breaks. I’m hopeless lol
Don’t beat yourself up! You just haven’t found the best way for you. You will find it, I’m sure!
