1. Want to read a book, that's effort
2. Maybe watch a show instead. Nah that's a half hour commitment I feel I don't have time for
3. Oh I know! Let's scroll shit on YouTube!
4. Significant amounts of time have passed

almost the same for me, except that if i read a book, i risk spending hours without paying attention to anything else, so no. 2 is also the reason why i don't watch half hour videos on youtube. but 3 and 4 happen anyways occasionally.
the problem is that with a book it's difficult to put down, especially mid-chapter. and with youtube videos i can stop after each video. (<- yeah right!)
solved it with audiobooks and making a list of shows i commit to watching when i have time, but no more than one episode per day.
