How to stop watching TV

"I don't miss the background drone of politicians and unfunny comedy shows"
How I did it: I gave my personal TV away to my sister. I found places online to stream or buy/download the shows I can't live without - watching them without commercials wastes less of my time! The big TV in the living room is not mine, so I can't get rid of it, but that doesn't mean I have to watch it. When I move to my own apartment in a few months, I won't bring a TV along with me.
Lessons & tips: If you need sound, listen to a little music or even get a good radio so you aren't using a gadget with a screen you'll watch. Pay attention to what you're doing so you catch yourself when you start to turn on the TV when you want to avoid more important stuff!
