Netflix Helped Me Get Over My Fear of F*cking Up
It always works out.
I have been a Netflix subscriber since 2001. Back then, there was no such thing as streaming. So if you wanted to watch a movie, you had to select it online and then wait for it to arrive via snail mail, then return it by mail when you were done. Once Netflix received the movie back, they would automatically send out the next movie in your cue.
All that back and forth mailbox stuff may seem a bit cumbersome, but I liked it!
Of course, now things are different. I can watch as many movies as I want, any time — day or night. The trouble is, I find myself doing far too more scrolling than watching.
It would seem that finding something to watch would be easier now that there are so many choices at my fingertips, but that’s not how choice works.
You may have been led to believe that more choices mean greater FREEDOM.
But the truth is too much choice is paralyzing.
The more choices you have, the harder it is to make a decision.
It doesn’t matter if you are trying to decide what to eat. What to wear, or what you want to do with the rest of your life.
What does matter is that you choose.
