If you stop to think about it, those TV hours don't take long to add up. In even a moderate TV-watching household, it's simply amazing how many hours are spent in front of the box. Let s see, an hour of news seven days a week, five sitcoms, a couple movies, a quiz show, a cartoon for grownups and a standup comedy special. And that's not even counting daytime TV or breakfast programs. If you'd like to free up more of your spare time by turning that TV off more frequently, try some of these techniques.
TV is a habit.
If you work hard all day, by the time you make it home, it's often just too hard to find the energy to do anything except flop in front of the TV and hope to be entertained while you eat dinner. If you do this five nights per week, you're in a TV rut. Chances are your sofa has grooves which match the curves of your body. You need to become aware that it's possible to break this habit. If so, there's a good chance that your diet is contributing to your lethargy.
