stop watching pointless TV

I have been watching way to much t.v latley to the point where i want to go to sleep but force myself to keep watching. So therefore I have decided to go without t.v. completly for a whole week and see how my life will improve. i will tell you guys how it goes.

I’ve quit pointless TV almost entirely, in a cold turkey sort of way, by canceling my cable and getting out of the house every night: i read in bookstores, see more of my friends and family, write letters more often… it’s GREAT.

I’ve discovered I don’t watch as much television when my husband isn’t at home. I manage to turn the T.V. off when I am not watching a specific program. He isn’t up yet, so the T.V. has remained turned off. I realised it is not my problem. In other words, I’ve accomplised this goal.

isn’t pointless TV, is it? I don’t think so. Social education. I’m a single female, it makes me uber-paranoid. Very helpful indeed!

I don’t think this is going to happen any time soon, because I use TV to soothe myself after a shitty day or a sad day or both; I have those days a lot. But one day. Soon. I will stop watching ANTM marathons.

I really do clean my house faster with the television off so it doesn’t distract me from my goal: a cleaner house.

i didn’t do this by choice, i just didn’t have time anymore to watch it, and now…when i have free time i spend my time doing other stuff…its nice.

I should be be doing tasks around the house, reading, or talking to my wife.

I was just going through my list of things for the first time in a while and realized that I have done this. I can only think of a few days in the last few months that I have watched any television and those were football games. Pointless to some, but they are fun to watch now and then. In any case, I’ve done this. Strangely enough I’ve started writing a book during that same time. :)

I find that 4 years in college, with a full time job, basically killed my tolerance of the idiot box. I can not watch tv for months, turn it on, be excited about the new commercials, then, withing 30 mins to an hour, I’m sick of the repetitiveness of the same commercials over and over. add to that the sucky programming, and I’m off this wagon. still, I do like to watch fox sunday nights for family guy and american dad if I remember to tune in, and I do BUY south park and the simpsons, but the rest of it, I can do without
