Watch in the evening
Outside focus hours Netflix opens as usual. During them, Flowly asks why first.
Why “one episode” rarely stays one
Streaming is designed to keep you watching. The next episode starts automatically, cliffhangers end every chapter, and stopping takes a decision while continuing takes none.
On a work laptop that is especially costly. A long lunch break with a series can quietly take the whole afternoon.
A schedule works better than willpower
Decide once when Netflix is for you, for example after 19:00, and let Flowly keep it closed until then. Here is how to block websites on a schedule. If you study, our guide on how to focus while studying may help too.
