365 Exciting Ways to Live : Excitement # 86. Control TV-Viewing Time

 Control TV-Viewing Time
Television: chewing gum for the eyes.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Have you considered reducing your TV watching time? If not, do it immediately. The visual media are so powerful that it will take away all your precious time. With the latest technology available, there is no limit at all for the number of channels available to watch. The only limitation is our time, which you know is very scarce and precious.
Just imagine your life before the TV came to your room! Didn’t you have more family time and personal time? What happened to all that?
Consider the following:
  • All programmes may be interesting, but you have limited time. So, choose in advance, which programmes you are going to watch.
  • Spend quality time on TV by watching useful channels. Give a functional bias to your TV-watching portfolio.
  • Log your TV-watching time for a week and try to reduce it by 20% to start with.
  • Don’t have a TV in your work or study area; it will interfere with your work.

The list is endless. If you are really serious, you can use the TV for a productive purpose.
