A role model could help. Enter filmmaker Steven Soderbergh.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2009, Soderbergh has published a list of everything he has watched, read, or listened to over the year. <a href=\"http:\/\/extension765.com\/sdr\/25-seen-read-2015\">His roundup for 2015<\/a> is voracious: he watched at least a television show every day and tended to watch three or four films per week. For your own purposes, you might notice that Soderbergh picked a good mix of old and new, high- and low-brow. In the realm of true crime television, for instance, he watched <i>The Jinx<\/i> as well as <i>Dateline<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Around Christmastime, Soderbergh watched twelve movies in a single week. You aren&#8217;t expected to match the pace of an acclaimed, prolific director. But maybe his tenacity will inspire you to keep a list of your own and be more conscious of what you watch.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several of us might have made New Year&#8217;s resolutions to watch new things \u2013 to see more films in theaters, maybe, or to stop streaming The West Wing on loop.
