Went from 3 episodes a week to finishing all 62 episodes of Breaking Bad in 11 days
I used to watch maybe 3 episodes of any show a week and thought that was normal. Then my roommate in Austin bet me I couldn't finish Breaking Bad before his birthday, so I started on a Friday and hit the finale 11 days later. The difference was I stopped pausing to scroll my phone during slow scenes, and suddenly every episode pulled me into the next one. Anyone else notice their watch speed changes completely once a show hooks them?
My wife and I binged all of Stranger Things season 4 in 4 days last summer, which is nuts for us since we used to take like two months on any show. I always figured slower was just how we watched stuff, but having a deadline or someone to talk about it with makes a huge difference. Turns out the phone scrolling was the real problem the whole time.
