3 days in and im thinking this was a very +EV move on my behalf.
Yeah its daunting taking something away from you that you've been exposed to your entire life but there have already been several things I've learnt from doing this.
1. Televison made me eat more.
Was always easy after a hard day at work to simply grab some snacks/beer and sit in front of the idiot box and veg out for a while.
Turns out that alternative activities such as exercise, re-designing the home or making food from scratch can be quite fun
2. Television restricts critical thinking.
So thats why i sometimes found myself yelling at the box after having to endure the views of 'social commentators'.
Who decides how perceptively non-critical some of these people are?? In short, TV can be so frustrating and is a travesty to productive human intelligence.
3. Family relationships
Have already found myself becoming closer to those i love the most. No longer am i wondering how Michael from burn notice will get out of this weeks hole to become the good guy once again. Instead, family and close friends are being lavished with a-lot more quality attention.
I know a few of you will think im weird for doing and thats cool. I only say to try it for yourself before casting judgement on others.
Will report back in couple of weeks with an update of a TV free lifestyle. GL everyone
