But how can you manage to restrict yourself to play only on the weekends?

For me as a fully remote software dev, just after the daily was over and nobody needed to call me for anything I'd just play a couple of hours and then go back to work.

And yes being top of something feels great, I wasn't even close to top 0.01%, but I was top 20 of my country maybe top 10% worldwide and kept improving. I don't know if I was close to my ceiling, I don't think so because I had not started paying private coaches, but I considered it.
