watch less tv

I need to cut down on the shows after 10 so I can get my body into bed.

will be a bit of a challenge, as I’m babysitting all day (6am- 10pm) for a special needs person. Because of this, I’m very limited in what I can do; walk with her around the driveway, put on CMT (she likes country music), take her to sit outside, or watch tv.

I talk to her when I’m engaged in an activity, I don’t know if she understands or not, but I don’t care. I wouldn’t want to be ignored just because I can’t communicate back.

My plan is to take my newest netflix movie with me and make sure I have a few books. We can watch the movie, then I can turn on one of her shows and tune out to read until it’s time for us/me to do something (cook, move to a different room, walk the dog).

I was babysitting the other night and turned on the tv when the kids went to bed. I wanted to watch Clean House or What Not to Wear. (I’ve narrowed it down to just those) There was no WNTW, and CH was a rerun. So I turned it off and read a book. :)

coming along pretty good. Basically, the only thing I really watch is The Tudors.

I don’t really watch tv now, it helps that there isn’t much that I can watch.
If you’re trying to do this without success get rid of cable – or your entire tv. You’ll miss it at first but soon you’ll wonder why you wasted so much time :)

I know it is from the damn computer screen at work and the TV at home…. Screens are addictive..

No tv in a week now. And I don’t miss it too much

Haven’t watched any TV for a few days but have been watching The Wire on DVD as I’m completely addicted. Am working my way through Season 4 but will have to wait until September for Season 5 to be released on DVD in the UK. Am contemplating ditching my subscription to Sky, I could buy a lot of DVD’s with the £40 I’d save…..

My telly broke about 4 years ago and I’ve never looked back. The TV licensing people keep sending reminders as I think that they don’t really believe that someone doesn’t have a telly. But now there is BBC iplayer. Bugger.

I have not put on the tv before 8:00 in quite some time. Doing real well with this. I will watch American Idol tonight but that is it. Nothing tomorrow though because I am going to see Mohammad Yunus speak. He is the “inventor” of the Microloan which has helped many 3rd world countries. I am so looking forward to this.
