If you’re anything like me, finding a tv show that you actually enjoy is exciting. And I usually take the route of binging. If it’s that good. After perusing Netflix, I’d like to say that I have successfully binge watched a lot of tv shows. I have compiled a list of how to successfully binge watch a show yourself.
-
Get comfortable.
I always prop up my sleeping pillow and a throw pillow for all binge watching purposes. If you aren’t comfortable, your binge watching will not be enjoyable and you will probably not end up watching anything.
-
Have lots of snacks.
There isn’t anything worse than watching a long show on an empty stomach.
-
Drink a ton of water.
Staring at a screen for hours on end isn’t very comfortable, so stay hydrated. It gives you a reason to take bathroom breaks and rest your eyes.
-
Find activities you can do while watching.
In order to be a bit productive, do some activities. I recommend menial tasks like folding laundry, cleaning your room, or even washing dishes. Activities like painting and crafting don’t take a lot of concentration, so that’s great too. I personally embroider a lot when I watch tv.
-
Have a box of tissues ready.
You never know when it’ll hit you. But be ready in case those tears slip out.
-
Tell a friend.
It’s always fun to share your interests with people. Maybe they’ll want to watch, and now you have a binge buddy.
-
Stretch a little.
Sitting in one position for hours isn’t ideal, so take a minute to do some stretches. Trust me, it’ll maximise your viewing pleasure.
If you do these few things, I promise you’ll be a pro in binge watching TV shows. I watched 7 seasons of Parks and Recreation in 6 days, so I think I know what I’m talking about. So go. Binge watch to your heart’s delight.
