But what if you could realize the importance of your time by taking a summary of the entire watching session of a month? This way, you can help yourself to do much better things than to refrain and keep staring at the screen. The ‘Time Spent Streaming’ calculator is the way to go. It’s an online tool, where, by uploading your Netflix viewing history, you reckon how much time you’ve spent on watching TV shows with additional ideas that could’ve been given more priority all this while.

The calculator, created by cyber security company CompariTech, just needs your viewing history from your Netflix account and vividly tells you the duration you’ve wasted spending time at the screen. Also, it provides several ideas that could produce better outcomes. Not only this, there are several others stats that you’ll get to see, such as, your most-watched series, your preferred genre, and also the average time spent on Netflix per day.

However, deciding on a particular movie to watch at a time consumes more time than the movie itself. As of now, there’s no way you can calculate the time you wasted just to decide what you should watch, and let’s assume that this pandemonium contributes a lot to your havoc. Still, it’s quite difficult to figure out the time spent by someone if he’s been using his friends’ accounts. But, if you do have one of your own, it’d be easier to take a proper look at your viewing stats.

Just open the link to the Time Spent Streaming tool. Go to Netflix.com and select the user whose stats you wish to see. If you’re on a desktop, move to the top right corner or to the top left, if you’re using your phone. Open ‘Account’ and head on to ‘My Profile’ where you’d find ‘Viewing Activity.’ Now, you can see your entire watching history. Click on ‘Download All’ to get the full CSV file and then upload it on the calculator’s web page.

Now, you’ll have an in-depth analysis of the time it took to watch all of your favorite shows. Also, it introduces you to the alternatives that you could consider doing instead. Moreover, the distribution of the genres you prefer watching is another special convenience. Above all, you can share the information with others as well.

CompariTech says: “It’s not widely known but you can download your entire viewing history from Netflix however it’s just one big spreadsheet and that’s why we launched our Time Spent Streaming tool; to interpret and present your viewing history in a simple and fun way.”
