How to watch less tv
How I did it: Didn't renew my cable contract, locked the digital box in the understairs cupboard and now have only 4 channels!
I watch things that I like online and listen to music or the radio if I want some background noise! When I feel like putting on the TV I read a book or a newspaper....or I just go out and have a life!!!
Lessons & tips: I remembered how much I love music and I have a new found respect for well made television. I save money by not bothering to pay for cable. I pretty much only use the TV to watch news now and I feel like I'm more aware of what's going on in the world. It's all been practice for when I go travelling and won't have TV at all!
Resources: BBC iplayer, demand five, 4OD, youtube.....for when you want to watch something decent but there's nothing on the box.
