Basically:

  1. Find a Youtube Channel / TV Series

  2. Binge watch it all quickly

  3. Bored again

  4. Spend a lot of time looking up stuff to watch, but nothing looks interesting

  5. Repeat

Usually stuck on Step 4 longer than actually watching something, so I just browse news/reddit/lemmy or read random wikipedia articles until I find something to watch.

How do y’all do Step 4 correctly? How do y’all find stuff that’s interesting to watch?

    I made a my own tv schedule! I watch only one episode from each show once a week on its assigned day. Not only was the process of filing it out fun but I’m constantly excited to watch things that I wouldn’t have chosen before (for whatever reason).I was bored before watching the same stuff and people say after day. This has been a huge step for me in solving the problem you described

      Interesting idea! What do you do if you’re busy in the evening and miss a show - save it til next week or do you catch up?

        The options are twofold.

        1. you can shift the schedule over one day so you don’t miss a show
        2. you miss the show and just have to catch up next week (like you said)

        I only do #1 for movies (one movie a week) bc my partner and I alternate movie week, so skipping a week would be unfair. #2 for all shows
