Live without television for a year

It’s like finding your path: once you do you can’t go back

I moved back to North Dakota the middle of May and havent gotten TV yet. I find I dont miss it at all. I do watch a lot of movies though and John keeps saying he wants to get basic cable for football season but I’ll fight him.

I haven’t completely given up TV. Rather, I do TV on my own terms.

I gave up commercial TV about three years ago. I have a Netflix account, which is great for documentaries. I no longer just waste hours in front of the tube, channel surfing and getting annoyed at commercials. I’m not a slave to being at home at a certain time, and I avoid the expense of a cable package with 83 more channels than I’ll ever have an interest in viewing.

I get out more. I read much more than I used to, and my reading subjects have expanded greatly. I stay in better contact with people.

I’m never going back.

This is so easy to do and makes you feel far less numb.

Definitely worth it.
