Get tired of wasting almost two months of your life every year watching TV? Every night take one hour to sit in front of the television? Jusk like kicking other habit, you need to acknowledge the problem and make promise to change it. Assuming you have made commitment, now the followings ways may help you.
1. Send your extra TV to charity. Make sure there is only one TV in your home that is for nothing but reading or TV watching. You can go to a school in rest time. You will not only receive the tax deduction and a sense that you did well, but it will really harder to relax in front of the television.
2. Only open the television to watch a particular show. In other words, avoid turning it on and searching for something worthwhile. Hours are dissipated quickly, switching from one show to the next, then you watch all and none meantime.
When you sit down to watch the show, set a timer in the next room for the length of the program. When it rings, you have to stand up and turn it off and that is also a signal to turn off the television.
4. Discard your remote control. It is quite amazing that you will watch less television if you have to get up each time to adjust the volume. It also eliminated the hours you spend searching channels.
5. Rearrange the furniture. Design your room and the tube will not be the focal point of the room. But afterthought which needs to twist around.
6. Hide your television. Put it behind an armoire and hang a blanket over it. Do no matter what you can to make sure it fades into the background and can not be seen.
7. Particularly when you are having dinner, you have to power off the tube.
8. Set a rule for you that you are not supposed to watch TV when the weather is fine. Instead, you need to go for a walk and get some other physical activity about no less than an hour before you go back to turn on the tube. The rule also works well for your children.
9. Make a television-watching plan each week. Sit down and pick out the shows you want to watch that week. You can only watch those shows, and as they are over, you have to power off the TV.
10. Set a rule that you have to read 30 pages of a book or magazine before you want to turn on the television. It will depend on how fast you read, and you might never watch tube again.
