Pro tip: keeping a one page episode log turned my 40 show backlog into 11
I had 40 shows sitting in my watchlist back in January and I kept starting new ones instead of finishing anything. So I made a dumb rule. One page in a notebook, just show name, episode number, and one line about what happened. No app, no spreadsheet. I did that for 19 weeks straight. Now I'm down to 11 shows and I actually finished 6 of them, including that slow detective one from Denmark that I bailed on twice. The log stops me from rewatching stuff I already saw because past me wrote it down. Wondering if anyone else keeps notes like this or if I'm just being weird about TV.

Did you ever worry the log would feel like homework after a few weeks? I used to roll my eyes at people who took notes on TV shows, thought it was way too much effort for something you just watch. But hearing that you knocked out 29 shows with nothing but a notebook and one line each makes me want to grab a pen and try it myself.
