Paused, dropped, and up-next: three shelves, not one list
A single watchlist that mixes abandoned pilots with tonight’s episode is why people stop tracking. Shelves keep up-next short.
Move a show the week you stop caring. If it has sat for six months, it is not next until you move it back.
Dropped is honest
Dropping a show is data. Leaving it in up-next is how the queue becomes a graveyard.
Paused is a date
Paused means you intend to return. Put the reason in your head, not in twelve tags. The shelf is enough.
Frequently asked questions
Does dropped delete progress?
It should hide the show from tonight, not erase what you marked.
How many shows belong in up-next?
As many as you will actually continue this month.
