A few weeks ago I learned an object lesson on "distracted TV watching". I streamed "Narcos" on Netflix (excellent show, by the way). Anyway, I do have a habit of surfing the web while watching TV - mostly with my phone, but sometimes with my laptop. Much of "Narcos" is subtitled - something I'm not used to. While lost in an episode, I'd habitually and mindlessly grab my phone, start to surf while still listening to the TV, then look up at the TV and realize I'd missed a crapload of dialogue that I was supposed to read. I spent the first 2 or 3 episodes having to rewind to rewatch chunks of the show I'd missed because of this Pavlovian behavior before breaking the habit....
I really want to watch Narcos...I just can't do it after work because work drives me to drink and I can't pay attention to subtitles when I drink.
