[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8277705, member: 85555"] The first thing to consider is there is no rule that says you have to consume media all the time or even ever. Maybe your brain is interested in doing other things. On the other hand if this is a product of being inside, of having your attention span impacted by youtube, facebook, etc., then my advice is stop watching youtube, stop checking social media and let your brain get used to watching things and reading things for longer periods of time (I noticed I was having trouble getting through movies and books, and it basically turned out I was watching too much youtube). Same with reading, if you are reading social media posts because that is what you want to do, then go for it. If reading social media posts is impacting your attention span and interest in reading, try avoiding reading posts a lot (I would say both on places like facebook but also limit your forum time too). Another thing to consider: are you sure you are watching what you really want to watch? Like maybe you are watching things because you feel you ought to, because the gaming community talks about them a lot, but deep down you'd rather watch Commando. If so: watch Commando. Commando is always a good choice. [/QUOTE]
