MODERATORS
What helps me with those kinds of things is to focus on enjoying the thing, whatever it is. Especially digital stuff that occupies no space in my home, I accept that it's ok to do something as long as I enjoy it, and when it becomes repetitive or boring I can just stop.
Of course sometimes you need to push against this a bit when you know there is a slightly unpleasant section blocking more enjoyable content. The big takeaway is that it's ok to stop if you're not enjoying yourself anymore. No one is gonna check or care.
