The Game of Thrones Guide to a Successful Life

The Game of Thrones Guide to a Successful Life

Here’s a step-by-step guide for getting the most out of “Game of Thrones”, an HBO series that’s now the most pirated show and has parents naming children after characters like Kaleese and Arya.

  1. Make a schedule and prioritize chronologically: With 67 released episodes, and 6 more in the upcoming final season, it’ll take serious concentration and dedicated time to get through.
  2. Get rid of the kids: Reviews are clear that viewers should be 16 and older, so sequester the younger kids to their rooms for the next few days.
  3. Take notes: With so many family rivalries, deaths, births, and plot twists, you’ll need notes for the Monday morning cubicle conversations.
  4. Compile and reflect: Sit down, take out the prioritized show schedule, think about your kids in their rooms, and grab your note-taking pencil. Now think.

Do you really want to spend the next hundred or so hours in front of a screen? What about that conversation you had last week when you said you didn’t have time for that important thing? What about that unused sports equipment shoved in the closet or the storage unit (you “had to” have it)? What about your kids in their rooms doing who knows what…you know their childhood is ticking away, right? What about the book you bought that you “should” read? Or how that conversation you’ve been putting off with your significant other?

Spoiler Alert: Everyone is the show dies*. And so will you someday. But you’ve got no time, right?

*Actually I have no idea what happens, but I do know the mortality rate for real humans is 100%.
