BINGE WATCH OUT OF BOREDOM

Binge watching at peak!

The world is facing a global pandemic which requires the contribution of each individual to saty at home as much as they can. The OTT Platforms have become the most subscribed sites. Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hotstar  are a hub of movies. They provide us an easy way to pass time when we have nothing else to do. It has also proven to divert our attention from stress and pandemic. But is it really a healthy way to pass time time?  Even the researchers have proven so many health problems related to binge-watching.

People have become addicted to watching movies all day and night. Just like acoin has two sides similarly binge watching has its own pros and cons. I have watched many shows and completed many seasons in a single day. No doubt It gave  me diversion from the current situation but it also made me lazy. I realized after a few days how Binge watching is making my day so unproductive.

I felt that it needs to change. I took a pen and started writing down on a piece of paper. I listed all the points I must do during lockdown. I laid my schedule in such a way that I was able to do everything in a given time. Starting from my meals to binge watching to productive things, I managed to set my routine. Well what could be more fun than sitting and watching your favorite shows.  No matter how long they were, but we had an ample amount of time to watch all of them. Not just me, even my family started watching shows on various OTT platforms.  

They didn't know even know earlier how to use. Now I guess they are even better than me! But seriously sometimes we used to get lost of time as Netflix shows consumed us so much. We wouldn't realize when our mornings have turned into evenings. Who would have thought there will come a situation when there was no time limit. Time when we wouldn't have to worry about days. It felt like Sunday everyday. During lockdown there was a 73.7%  increase in binge watching with an average time of 3-5 hours.
