Today’s viewers have more entertainment options than ever, which means many subscribe to multiple streaming services to access their favorite movies and TV shows—and those they're hearing a lot of buzz about. All you need is a cable internet package and a connected device to access a seemingly endless list of titles. However, all these options can make it more time-consuming to find something to watch, leading to a new phenomenon known as streaming fatigue. Luckily, a few simple tips can help you avoid overspending and reduce time trying to decide what to watch.

How to Organize Multiple Entertainment Streaming Services

1. Make a List of Must-Watch Content

Paring down subscriptions starts with determining what’s important to your family. Are there certain shows you really look forward to on Hulu each week, or are you more interested in the upgraded sports content on ESPN? Think about what you watch every week and the content you really enjoy, and then trim your subscription list to the platforms that offer something from the list. 

2. Try Different Services

In some cases, you may not know if you like the shows or movies a streaming service offers until you subscribe. Luckily, many offer free trials for a week or month. Even if there isn’t a trial available, you can usually try a service with only a one-month commitment.

If you only use it once or twice throughout the month, you may want to drop it. Just put a reminder on your phone to unsubscribe or make a decision by the following month. 

3. Rotate Access

If you love content on every streaming service, it's not necessary to stay subscribed to all of them at once. Instead, cycle through different options based on what you want to watch at the time. 

For example, the kids’ content on Disney+ might be more useful over the summer, while switching to Netflix will offer more varied content during fall. Decide how many services you can afford each month, and unsubscribe from one when you decide it’s time to sign up for something new or return to an old favorite.
