Careful of your Binge-Watching

With all the time indoors we have now, it could be important to our mental health to be mindful of what we are doing, even on things as simple as watching TV.

This is a psychological study of the effects of binge-watching, which the study finds to be "associated not only with standard social cognitive factors but also anticipated regret, automaticity and perceptions of goal conflict"

I'd like to just leave this here so we can all do our best to keep ourselves sane in this chaotic time.

  2. I advise binge-reading. Maybe join an online book-club, check out the Five Books website for reading recommendations, or read as many of the books I've recommended in the sidebar as you can get to... and post your thoughts about them.

    but you should binge Picard, if it's to your taste, and Newsroom. We've also been enjoying Little Fires Everywhere.

    Any other viewing AND reading advice, all?

  3. I've been binge-watching this show called "The Legend of Haolan". Given that it serves a historical fiction, I enjoy watching it as it gives me the chance to examine ancient Chinese culture, from society down to the clothing. It also allows my mind to wander from current events.
