This week is coming close to the end and I am thankful it is ending. I am glad that Ashley assigned me this green task of not watching TV since it not only has saved some energy, but it is also pushing me to reexamine the time I spend in front of the television and computer. I enjoy television, but I think that the biggest thing I could learn from this week’s experience is that I need to become more efficient at watching TV and my computer time. I need to make more time for doing productive things NOT involving a monitor.
So, tonight I am going to miss the season premier of Chuck and it sort of ticks me off. On the other hand, I do have it recording on the DVR and will be able to watch it in about 3/4th of the time. I talked to Ashley about possibly setting up ‘no TV nights’ and we have not set anything up yet, but will likely try and do this.
I think I need to also set aside time away from my computer. This blog, my job, Facebook, Reddit and Twitter all take a good chunk of time. I know that I am not going to quit any of these things, but I think I can probably make my time with these things more efficient.
How many of you spend much of your time with your TV/computer off? Tell me your stories about how you best manage all of the information chaos in your life.
