Pro tip: I finally found a way to actually finish a series instead of dropping it halfway

I kept starting shows and then losing interest around episode 4 or 5. My watchlist was just a graveyard of half-finished stuff. Last month, I decided to try something different with a new sci-fi show called 'Echo Drift'. I made a rule: I could only watch one episode per night, no matter how good the cliffhanger was. It felt weird at first, especially when episode 3 ended on a huge twist. But spreading it out over two weeks made me actually look forward to it each night instead of just zoning out. I finished the whole first season and I remember all the plot details now, which never happens when I binge. Has anyone else tried limiting their episodes like this? What other tricks work for you to actually get through a series?

Actually, that's exactly how TV aired originally.

Is it really that big a deal to finish a show? I mean, if you lose interest halfway, maybe it just wasn't that good.

I dropped The Walking Dead after season 7, and I don't feel like I missed out on anything.
