Writeup: Measuring Me Take 2

Behavior I’d like to change:

 

Watching too much Thai Shows (a newer behavior)

 

Duration tracked (hourly):

Jan 9, 2026 – Jan 10, 2026

 

I chose to observe this behavior for this assignment since it is a newer behavior that I’ve developed in the past few weeks, and I have started to slowly realize it might be occupying me too much. Through this tracking, I noticed that I would take the chance to watch a Thai show regardless of the time and what I have to do. The only times I wouldn’t do it are when I am outdoors or when I am conversing with someone else. In the beginning, this behavior probably started intentionally, but it has definitely become unintentional—like an escapism from everything like doom scrolling.

What I’d do differently next time:

 

I’d track my behavior every half hour instead of hourly since I think I seem to move about and change what I’m doing more that way. Maybe putting myself on a shorter interval will make me more wary of watching too many Thai shows. Overall, I’ve also realized that my anxiety lessens as long as I do my work.
