Switched from watching shows on my phone to my dusty old laptop and it fixed my binge problem
So for about 8 months I was binging everything on my phone in bed and I kept falling asleep 2 episodes in and losing my place, which was driving me nuts. Then my phone charger died and I was too cheap to buy a new one so I dug out my old laptop from 2016 and started watching on that instead. The difference was insane. On the laptop I actually sit up at my desk and pay attention, and I knocked out all 6 seasons of a show in like 9 days which never happened on the phone. I think the small screen was making me treat shows like snacks instead of meals, just little bites here and there. Now I got a rule where if a show has more than 2 seasons I only watch it on the laptop, and the shorter stuff stays on the phone. Anyone else notice they binge way harder on one screen over another, or am I just weird about this?

Noticed the same thing with my ipad vs my tv. On the ipad I can watch like 5 episodes without even blinking but on the tv I get distracted by my phone every 10 minutes. Something about holding the screen makes it feel less serious, like a game or something. My guess is the laptop forces you to actually commit because you gotta sit up and open it and all that. Phone is just too easy to grab and drop.
