My Netflix 'Continue Watching' list hit 42 shows and I feel a bit lost

I opened the app last night and the number just stared back at me. It's a mix of things I watched one episode of months ago and stuff I'm halfway through. I think it started when I kept jumping to the next hot thing my friends were talking about. How do you guys actually pick one show to finish when there's so much new stuff coming out all the time?

Oh man, that number would give me real anxiety. I actually had to just wipe my whole list clean once because it felt like homework. I started fresh and only let myself add one new thing after I finished something else, which helped a bit. My brain just can't handle that many open tabs, even for TV.

Wait is that 7000+ shows actually possible? @hannahcoleman I feel you on the homework thing though, that's exactly how my movie list felt lmao. I tried your method once and it worked for like a week, then I spotted something new on Netflix and boom, back to 30 open tabs in my brain. My sister says I have commitment issues because I'll watch one episode, like it, then add 5 more shows to my list before finishing the first one. Honestly I'm just embracing the chaos at this point, my TV watching life is a mess and that's okay lol.

Worry about a TV list like it's a real problem, come on.
