Helpful Forms Of Entertainment (Week One)
I don’t play video games. And, it took a lot of time and a lot of persistence for me to be able to watch movies and TV Shows.
And, I still can’t just sit in front of the television for a movie or a show on command.
Invariably, I will do something on my laptop while the media plays in the background.
And, while I can pay better attention today, things didn’t begin to change for me until I met my wife nearly two years ago.
She has slowly gotten me to watch some things, but again, I spend a decent amount of time on my laptop.
How do you enjoy a movie or TV Show? Do you get distracted by them?

I do watch some tv more than films, things like Big Bang Theory, or british detective shows like Farther Brown or Agatha Christie. I do read a lot though, and use a Kobo spreader, and by looking at the stats, on how long I read for it gives me my first warning when my depression is about to hit or how bad it is on how long I read for.

I don’t watch much tv but the television is on almost all day as hubby enjoys it lol. It does distract me but we only live in a one-bedroom flat so we’re together 24/7. Lucky I love him. x

I don’t watch TV and haven’t been to a cinema in several years. I rarely watch movies / TV will enjoy watching them downloaded onto my laptop together with my partner on Skype. It’s just different watching alone for me. Whereas with my partner over Skype, I can talk to him and make comments.

I probably watch too much TV/movies in the evenings. But I do spend much of that time doing other things. Unless I’m with my partner I find it difficult to devote my 100% attention. I’m working on not needing the TV on in the background as it distracts me from the more important tasks I can and should do. That said I love it when I find a new interesting series to keep up with.
