Step one: build a complete inventory: record series database names, number of seasons, episodes per season, and typical runtime.
Here are examples: network drama – ~22 eps/season × ~42 min; streaming series – around 8–10 episodes per season, go here, see details, visit page, that resource, recommended link 50–60 minutes each; short series – 3 seasons × 10 episodes × 45 minutes = 22.5 total hours.
Log totals in a spreadsheet column: episodes, minutes per episode, total minutes, total hours.
This basic tracking method makes an abstract task measurable.
Use math to set an achievable pace: select weekly sessions and episode count per session, then calculate finishing time.
Examples: 3 episodes × 45 minutes × 5 weekly sessions = 675 minutes/week = 11.
