I was reading this article today:
Think small steps. "Don't think in terms of all or nothing -- think in terms of a little bit here and there, actually getting creative work done," she says, whether it means waking up 30 minutes earlier or disconnecting the cable. "Know that you are living your priorities, and if you like watching TV every night and don't have time to do other things, there's nothing wrong with that. Just acknowledge that those are your priorities."
And it got me thinking that TV is not a priority for me nor do I have any interest in making it a priority but I still end up watching way more than I should and I end up putting stuff off that should be priorities. Reading to my daughter, the gym, making a real good dinner, reading...simple things that I enjoy a lot more than sitting there, vegging out to some show that really isn't going to make an impact in my life.
Has anyone gotten rid of their TV? I actually don't have cable or anything...I'm a cheap, simpleton and find all that too expensive so I stick to basic TV. NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS. Now that I think about it, I would miss PBS...I love Masterpiece Theater...and all the cooking shows...would I die without them? No but I definitely like a lot of the things I learn about.
