I love Netflix. I love almost everything about Netflix. I've seen movies I never even knew existed. I've binged watched some awesome t.v. shows. I've had marathons with my favorite actors/actresses.
It has become "my thing". My guilty pleasure. My drug of choice. (Seriously...I'm addicted to it.)
The downside to this glorious invention is that I spend more time watching it than I do anything else.
I've got projects I need to work on. Books I want to read. Grown up chores I need to do. I'm wasting valuable hours here! (Though really, is it a waste? What else do I have going on?)
I'm not one of those people that can watch an episode and walk away. I wish I was though. I wish that I could have an hour of Netflix time and the rest dedicate to other things. It was part of my New Years resolution but that didn't happen. The other part was to play more video games. (Don't judge, I was trying to find something I could stick with. I was tired of being a failure at all those other self-improvement resolutions.) But Netflix even trumped gaming. I'll try again for 2016.
I'll firmly tell myself as I'm driving home from work, that once I get home I'm taking care of "business" first. Then I can watch all the Netflix I want. But by the time I get home I'm exhausted and need a good sit down. The next thing I know it's dinner time and I just wasted nearly 3 hours watching a sitcom about people with actual lives. *sigh*
I even considered cancelling my Netflix subscription for a few months to get myself out of the habit, then laughed at myself for being ridiculous. I just need to gain some willpower and self control. I know that I have it somewhere.
