I understand that we need to get refresh and play. Life can't be just work and study but what balance we need to maintain your health your family your work with all that been said the SDA which is the Skills Development Activities should continue, we need to find time to self-study improve and continue education because the technology is moving fast to keep ourself-up to date we need to continue improvement even if you do less, once a week but at least do it continually. There are many activities like TV shows which divert us from rolling on development.

So what we need to do to charge our self to continue education when our mood falter of study 

No problem that's normal don't panic give yourself a break take vacation take time off study but set your PPO high (Personal Performance Objective) set a target to study and reward yourself after finishing a small course even if you don't get promotion at work just rewards yourself, celebrate your success of completion of the course, any knowledge you add on is a plus point. We as human being tend to forget so by continuous reading we exercise our memory and keep it active.

Finding the right balance is paramount and not always easy. Remembering to celebrate success and growth is also important. Hey, while we're at it, let's celebrate each other. Cheers!

Work is Work and it never ends. We all need to entertain ourselves after work be it with TV shows or other things.

The question should actually be: Does Professional Development stand between you and your TV shows ? Well, sometimes.

That’s right! The power of Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu! Everything is so [too] convenient nowadays. TV or read on the train, or before sleep.

Andrew, you are absolutely right it is so convenient to have access to all those you mentioned and many more Kodi, Crackle, etc, we have witnessed the demise of VCR, CD/DVD players, Blue rays, and Blockbuster rentals.

Mayte, It is, that's very clever maneuver a good development to learn new language by watching TV programs, I better start to watch EL CHAPO in Spanish ;-)
Spanish is widely spoken in many countries and second language in USA, I found many similarity between Spanish, Italiano and French
