How I did it: I normally use the TV as a background noise so I watch it way to much.Now the cable company disconnected me for a week, which forced me to find other things to do than watching. At first I really was lost, but from day 2 I was looking for other things to do like working, seeing and calling friends, going to the cinema and reading. In the end I did not really miss it anymore. So the lesson learnt here is that I perfectly can function without a TV on in the background and even better than with.  

Lessons & tips: When you are forced not to watch it is easy so finding a way to force yourself to really do it is the key here! At least it is for me... I think I will give mysefl a TV diet with fixed slots that it cannot be on and I am forced to do other things. 

Resources: A crapy service from the cable company! Thank you very much for the reminder of the things that are really important and you cannot do while sitting inf ront of the TV!
