As I have gotten older, and as I am watching more serialized TV (and sometimes news), I find it helps to get a break once in a while. Mental or watch based breaks are one thing but I find myself ignoring them. Commercial breaks that I do not control are definitely helpful. Now I do not want 38 minutes of TV and 22 minutes of commercial, but I would definitely welcome fixed 2 minutes breaks every 20 minutes or so. I may still skip through them, but there may be times when I just let it run while I walk around or check messages - we can talk all we want about device addiction but if I know I will get a break, I am less tempted (and maybe less addicted) to check messages by pausing the show.
