going cold turkey did suck, but about…wow, almost a year ago, i moved and just decided that my tv service would NOT be moving with me. For a couple weeks I went crazy, going to family and friends houses just to catch some TV, but nowadays I watch TV only when at someone’s house with them, and that’s about – oh, 2 to 4 hours a week total. I know it’s not quite “live without TV for a week”, but the fact I have done that multiple times so far and have gone sometimes a month or more without sitting in front of the tube means this counts!
Just make the decision – or, if it’s that hard, scale it down. Do basic instead of extended or whatever. Then, once you’re at very-basic-basic for a few months, and you’ve adjusted to not having all the excess channels, cancel it completely. You’ll find that all the series you really like and miss you can find online news for and you’ll spend more time reading, playing with family, writing, and loads of other things.

I have been noticing, but not recording. Today was going to mclellan and seeing alot of my old friends, realizing i am still pretty close to them, and sharing conversations and rekindling those relationships.
seek first to understand, then to be understood. I need to remember that more.

and moved, but cut complete cable. I suppose if I pulled out the rabbit-ears, I might get a few channels, but effectively, no TV. IT was really freaky – hard the first few weeks, and sometimes when I’m at family’s houses I will just be mezmerized by it, but now I watch MAYBE 2, 3 hours a week, if that. And that’s a football game, or news while catching up with mom. Basically, I went from 2-3-4 hours a night to nothing, and while it sucked at first, I have read more, talked to more people, gone out more, used my gym membership more, etc…just actually DONE more than sit and let life pass me by. It’s VERY much worth it!
