cut out the TV! Cancel your cable! and stop using pay per view!
Thousands of hours of your life have been wasted watching soap operas, game shows, and news.
I have heard the moaning from the lips of dear friends of mine that they just don't have time to do the things that they enjoy. They complain that they are too busy, that they just can't carve an hour or two out of their week for a meeting with friends or to just hang out.
YET
These are the same dear friends that download and watch thousands of hours of crappy art movies and obscure TV series for the sake of staying current.
There are people who have given up TV but for all the wrong reasons. Whatever you do, don't quit TV to brag to other people!
There are enough annoying people who are too good to watch the local news for it's glorification of violence and the commercials that are too sexually charged yet they are the same people spending hours reading raunchy romance fiction and playing violent computer games.
One buddy on a "too good for TV" kick said the following:
"I am not a mindless zombie watching negative news and mindless sitcoms, I would much rather spend my time in a positive way - shooting zombies!"
Not his most convincing argument.
Cut out TV and it will give you more energy, get you off the couch and save you several hours of waking time a day!
To lead an uncluttered life you will need to break the cycle of relying on the TV to keep you entertained for hours at a time.
Please note: I like video games and reading books, there are TV shows I enjoy watching but I don't schedule my life around them.
Happy Cutbacks!
