I break up my time. If I want to watch an anime, I put it in. If I want to watch a movie, I watch it. I don't ever deny myself playing a game or watching something if it means "not paying attention to my story". The more I try to focus on just my story, the more burnt out and irritated I get. If I want to write, I do, if I want to draw, I do. If I want to do a lil doodle, I do. If want to procrastinate by cooking/eating then I do.
But I'm the type of person where if I can't write, then I get depressed, irritated like no one's business, and am just a very unhappy person.
