The Ultimate Guide to Binge Watching: Technique 5 - The Marathon Session
Warning: This technique is not recommended for anyone with a pulse, a social life, or basic human decency.
For the truly committed, the art of binge-watching is an art form. A marathon session, devoid of sleep, food, or human interaction, is the ultimate expression of this technique.
**The Rules:**
- Clear your schedule for at least 48 hours.
- Stock up on pizza, energy drinks, and whatever snacks you can find.
- Set your phone to "Do Not Disturb."
- Don't bother with a blanket, you're not getting off the couch.
**Step 1: Pick a Series**
- Choose a show with at least 5 seasons, preferably with complex plotlines and characters.
- Opt for something with a dedicated fanbase, so you can join in on the discussions, even if you're not actually watching the show.
**Step 2: Get in the Zone**
- Set up your streaming device, and get comfortable.
- Press play, and don't look back until the end.
- When your eyes get tired, just squint, it's all part of the process.
**Step 3: Maintain the Momentum**
- Take breaks only to grab more food, or maybe to check the time.
- Don't bother with actual human interaction; they'll just get it.
**Step 4: Bask in the Glory**
- When you finally finish, declare yourself a master of binge-watching.
- Share your accomplishment on social media, and bask in the admiration of your peers.
