Watching TV series's. As a maker, I really just went to be making stuff all the time, and having to sit and dedicate my time to watching a show really does not interest me. I do like watching longform Nebula content while I'm doing other things though, like Philosophy Tube or Jet Lag: The Game. I also like reading books, just not tv or movies most of the time

Same for me and gaming. Thing is, I love games and always will, but I just don't have time in my day for it. Solution? Wait a year, read reviews of 1 or 2 best games of the year and then binge them 3 days straight without sleep and trainers (to level past the grindy aspects) until I'm sick of them.

Same with binge TV for me. Its just easier on my schedule if I can dedicate a one off time to it. It keeps me up to date with social trends, whilst not being a dominating factor in my life.
