Started keeping a note on my phone of every show I quit, and it fixed my binging problem
About five weeks ago I was sitting on my couch in Tucson at like 11pm and realized I had started and bailed on four different shows that weekend. I could not name a single plot point from any of them. So I made a dumb little rule: any time I quit a show, I write one line on my phone about why. One line, that's it. Turned out I was quitting almost every show in the first 2 episodes because it was slow, and the stuff I actually finished all hooked me by episode 3 or 4. So now I give anything a soft 3 episode test before I bail, and my watch list went from 30 random shows to like 6 I actually care about. Felt kind of stupid writing notes about TV at first but it takes ten seconds. Anyone else keep some kind of list like this or am I just turning into a weirdo about it?

Not a weirdo at all, the 3 episode rule is real. Saved me from dumping stuff that actually gets good later.
