Binge rotation strategy, 14 days max or I lose interest

Used to start a show and stick with it no matter what. 40 episodes in, still watching even if I checked my phone half the time. Then I found a pattern last year. If I don't finish a season within 14 days, I drop it completely. Doesn't matter how good people say it gets. My watch list went from 20 shows down to 5. Now I only pick shorter series or ones with 60 minute episodes. Anyone else have a hard cutoff rule or do you suffer through the slow parts?

Same thing happened to me with a couple long fantasy shows. Started skipping anything over 20 episodes unless people swear the whole thing is great. Two week rule is solid, keeps the watch pile from turning into a second job.
