How to Build the Perfect Watchlist

We've all been there: endless scrolling, can't decide what to watch, and somehow you've lost track of that show everyone recommended. Here's how to fix that.

1. Use a Centralized App

Stop using Notes. Stop texting yourself titles. Use a dedicated app like WatchRadar that:

Tracks what you want to watch

Shows you where it's available

Sends alerts when new content drops

2. Categorize Your Content

Create mental (or literal) buckets:

Watch Soon - Content you're actively excited about

Background Watching - Light shows for multitasking

Movie Night - Films that deserve your full attention

Series Commitment - Shows that require investment

3. Set Realistic Expectations

You won't watch everything. A manageable watchlist has 10-20 items, not 200. Regularly prune titles you're no longer interested in.

4. Track Your Subscriptions

Know what you're paying for. If you have Netflix, prioritize Netflix content before it leaves the platform.

5. Follow the Expiring Content

Streaming catalogs change monthly. What's available today might be gone next month. WatchRadar alerts you when titles are leaving your services.

The Bottom Line

A good watchlist is a living document. It should evolve with your tastes and availability. Download WatchRadar to get started!
