Only watched 1 hour yesterday!
Need to get into the habit of walking away and doing something else.

Shop for Fun is an online fashion game where you build a dream wardrobe and create outfits to win Amazon gift certificates.
How I did it: I received an iPad mini for Christmas, and this only encouraged me even more, especially after downloading hundreds of free books, some of which I may never read, but still! I was getting bored of just watching TV for the sake of it, I still watch some, but I mostly limit it to a maximum of two hours, and that's usually a boxset. Read how I did it… 16 hours ago

OK here is the thing… I don’t watch TV at all. But I do watch lots of shows online, which is so much worse! It’s like one show after another! It’s addictive. I also watch movies, and useless videos on YouTube, which most times I don’t even know how it happens on the first place… So much time wasted!
Ok, So I’m cutting my consumption to 3 hours a week. So that’s like one movie and one episode of whatever a week.

I’m having a hard time checking this one off my list. I mean, I don’t even have tv. I have Netflix and amazon prime- and I don’t watch them constantly. I follow a few shows from time to time, which I imagine is better than just hitting “play all” for the next 12 hours or so. 2 months ago
Jeff got home after a long day; so we were in bed before 9 – I read for an hour before succumbing to sleep – different than a typical evening and was clear-headed enough to follow the book – that is about 2 hours less tv than I would have been exposed to… 2 months ago
I find that I can watch an hour at a time comfortably while I clean or do crafts or some such. After that, I get up and do other things – cook, run errands, etc. Then I have recharged and can do more TV-in-the-background stuff. 3 months ago
I turned it off before I got in the shower and we didn’t turn it back on. I read blogs and a book. And, wasn’t prone to snacking. And, I feel more focused. 3 months ago
We are trying a low-screen-time no-social-commitment Saturday. I have purchased a frisbee and am on my way out the door to buy a thermos for hot drinks. It’s February, after all, but an afternoon in the park sounded lovely. 3 months ago
Less TV (NOT no TV) makes me feel better and healthier. So I aim to discover the balance point of healthy TV. I know on a “school” night (work night just doesn’t have the same ring), 1 hour is about right. Sometimes I watch less or none, but if I’m going to watch TV, I should top out at an hour. I have not yet found the correct formula for weekends.
Currently other “screen time” (video games, blog reading, etc.) are not an issue for me, just TV time. 3 months ago
