Arts Connections Advice #3

 

Q: I enjoy watching television shows from the past and the present. Now that there are so many options, how do I decide which shows to watch?

A: You should start by finding other shows by the same creator of some of the shows you already like. Same goes for performers that you like. You can also ask family and friends what they are watching, especially if they have similar taste or you respect their opinion. Streaming services like Netflix will actually evaluate your likes and dislikes and recommend shows based on your watching history. Reviews can be very useful, so find a publication that consistently recommends the kind of shows that you like and try an episode or two to see if you agree. 

Q: I have trouble keeping track of time. How can I keep to my schedule?

A: If you have a smart phone or tablet, it is easier than ever to remember appointments. They often come preloaded with a calendar app. You can create events in you calendar that will send you customized alerts. It's best to try it out and see what works best for you. For some, one alert 5 minutes ahead of time is enough. Others may need multiple alerts. Make sure that the settings allow for a sound to let you know when it's time for your scheduled event. Also make sure the volume is up so that you can hear the alert sound from another room if you happen to leave your device in a different place.
