Sure, I’ve spent hours mapping out the exact couch‑to‑remote sequence that maximizes episode density while minimizing anything that feels like “work.” Basically, it’s a careful balance between setting up a snack station that won’t tempt you to leave, calibrating the volume so you’re in “auto‑listen” mode, and scripting your own “episode‑break” countdown that feels like a workout, not a chore. The trick is to make every pause feel like a feature, not a mistake.

You can add a little timer that blinks red when the remote is idle for more than three seconds—then the snack tray automatically moves into the “no‑pause” zone. That way, if you do decide to put the phone down, the next bite is already in your hand and the next episode starts without a manual click. Just make sure the tray is level; even a millimetre of tilt will cause a mis‑launch that feels like a tiny work‑task.
