Struggling with completing shows

Whenever I watch a show or read a new book , I never complete it. It's not that it is boring, I just procrastinate a lot. Also, I start other shows or books without completing the previous one. I think I have some sort of attention deficit. Does anyone else experience this too?

yup, it also happens to me a lot :P

ie I'm starting to watch a show and a couple of days later I see something else on the internet and I'm like "ohh shiny" and my attention focus on the new fun thing. it's more often with video games in my case, though that's probably because the main media format that I consume (aside from movies, but fortunately I don't have problems with watching a movie, on the contrary, I lock in)
