Hello everyone !\nThis may sound silly, but I am really addicted to Kaggle and this competition in particular. I have ample work and responsibilities outside Kaggle, like school. But, I always tend to neglect school and spend all my time on this competition. I am learning a lot, but I need to do other things also. Can someone please suggest what I can do to overcome this addiction ?
