the beginning

A Foxtel salesman knocked on my door the other day and tried to sell me pay TV. A comment I made to him was, "I waste too much time watching TV as it is, so I don't need more."

That statement got me thinking and as a self confessed TV addict I calculated that I would waste between 4-8 hours a day watching TV........which equates to between 28-56 hours a week, about the equivalent hours of another full-time job. I am wasting my life............... in front of a "BOX," that is what they used to call it anyway, what should I say now a large black window like object....what ever a TV.

As of Monday past I vowed to stop/cut down my TV to a max of 2 hours a day. (I have allowed myself 2 hours a day to keep up with current affairs, and as any addict will tell you, it would be way too hard to quit cold turkey, so to speak). This vow is also in an effort to force my motivation to do other things that would be more productive, like; study, clean, work etc....

I expect to uphold this vow and continue this experiment for at least a few months to really see what effect this change will have on my life and my productivity with other projects of my own. I will blog on the progress the challenges and the changes that this commitment will have on me. So stay tuned.........
