With so many streaming service options available, we have unlimited television entertainment at our immediate disposal for binge-watching. A few clicks is all it takes to find the show you have always wanted to watch. From childhood favorites to new hit dramas, anything and everything is accessible through streaming. But if you need to catch up, how do you go about binging your series efficiently?
Clear Your Schedule
The first and most important step in getting ready to binge a show or movie series is to pick a day to commit to the grind. Finish your work for the week, and your chores for the day, and choose your show. Make your friends and family aware of your plans to indulge in the hours-long marathon of watching TV, or invite them for bonding time. Always remember to plan your breaks, and if you have pets, make sure you feed them and take them out!
Life is busy and picking the perfect day is easier said than done. Using your weekend to recharge after a stressful work week or waiting for a rainy day that cancels your plans are great opportunities for you to take advantage of.
Setting The Mood

Pull in the curtains, shut the lights off, and get to your station. Getting yourself comfy for the journey is the next step, so light that candle you have been saving or bring out your comfort blanket. If you fall asleep with the lights off during movies, keep them on. Take a trip down memory lane and build a pillow fort to watch your programs. The possibilities for relaxation are endless. Use the opportunity to bring back your childhood creativity, or plan a romantic date night with someone special.
Snacks

Pop some fresh popcorn or pick up your favorite bag of candy. Your snack options are equally as important as setting the mood. There is an unwritten law that you cannot eat your food without entertainment. Also, on your binge day, another law states that you cannot have your entertainment without food. The watching spree is your golden ticket to any assortment of food you crave. Use the week leading up to the big day to think and plan out your snack choices accordingly.
What To Watch

Deciding what to watch is the hardest part of the process. Movies, dramas, and animes are typically the most commonly binged productions. Dramas will provide drawn-out episodes and several seasons, perfect for taking breaks and having multiple viewing sessions. Movies will require the most attention and offer fewer breaks, but give a richer and shorter experience. For anime lovers, binging a classic is a long-term commitment that cannot be done in a single weekend. Animes like One Piece have over 1000 episodes, each running just over 20 minutes.
Luckily, if you are watching an anime or sitcom, you can get away with paying less attention to the screen. These are great binge options if you need to multitask or just want general background noise. Just make sure you know what is and is not filler and you will follow the plot smoothly. If you are looking to skip the filler, plenty of watch guides for shows and animes help you pick out the fastest or most immersive way to watch.
