Why You Need to Stop Watching Netflix During the Day
Get more done, and have a better streaming experience at night.
I used to love watching Netflix in the middle of the day.
I would work throughout the morning and parts of the afternoon, and then when I decided to take a break, I’d sit on the couch to watch an episode of my show.
I did this for years, a couple of times a week.
One day, I hadn’t had a chance to take more than a short break because I had a lot to finish. By the time I was done with everything on my to-do list, it was around nine or nine-thirty.
I wanted nothing more than to do nothing. So, I turned on the television, opened Netflix, and started watching my program.
It was the best watching experience I’d ever had.
From there, I stopped watching Netflix during the day. Here’s why.
You don’t worry about the work you need to do later
Whenever I watched an episode in the middle of the day, there was a voice in the back of my mind reminding me I still had work to complete.
My to-do list and all its tasks would haunt me, and I’d feel guilty for pushing them off.
