You might watch TV from the moment you get home from work each day until late at night or early morning. Create a goal for yourself to limit your TV usage to less than half of this time. Aim to watch less than four hours per day. Make a schedule for yourself each day that includes TV time and stick to that. You might also set an alarm signifying when to turn the TV off. Assess which of the shows you watch currently can be cut from your list. Perhaps you do not enjoy some of these much lately or feel that they are a waste of your time. Cut them and continue watching those that you are most interested in. If you don't want to watch the show but still want to follow the story, you can read the synopses online. In addition to television shows, you can also cut out some of your paid TV subscriptions. If you have several different streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, or HBO Go in addition to cable, consider cutting at least one or two of these. You will save money, time and have fewer opportunities to get addicted to new shows. After you have made a commitment to only watch a certain number of shows, commit yourself to only watching those. After you finish your shows for the day, turn off the television and avoid getting caught up in a new programme or film. When you do watch TV, try to spend time enjoying it and being mindful so that you don't have to watch any episodes on repeat or via online catch-up sites. Avoid reading or sending emails during this time, and instead do things like ironing, cooking or folding laundry. Avoid talking on the phone to family or friends during this time, as well. Start by spending one day completely unplugged. Designate one day per week that you will spend doing other activities like reading, doing homework, catching up with household chores you've been putting off, or spending time connecting with your partner. Try small sessions without TV, if an entire day feels like too much. Start small with an hour and then increase these breaks over time. A good way to do this is to simply not watch programmes you dislike. Don't like the programme that comes on before the one you want to watch? Don't watch it then!

SmartShare is a program on your LG Smart TV that allows you to stream media files directly from your computer to your LG TV over your home network. This lets you watch movies or listen to music stored on your computer without having to transfer the files onto a flash drive or burn a DVD. SmartShare works best when both the computer and TV are connected to your network via Ethernet cable. Using SmartShare over Wi-Fi may result in hitches or low-quality playback. You'll need the TV turned on in order to allow it as a trusted item on your computer. In order to stream your computer's media files to your LG Smart TV, you'll need to connect both the TV and the computer to the same home network. Again, for the best streaming performance, both the TV and the computer should be connected to the router via Ethernet. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen to do so. Before you can use SmartShare, you'll need to enable media streaming for your computer. This will search your computer for the Media Streaming Options menu item that's usually found in Control Panel. It's at the top of the Start menu's results. Doing so opens the Media Streaming Items menu. This option is in the middle of the window. Scroll through the available options until you find your LG TV, then check its box. If the box is already checked, you don't need to click the checkbox. It's at the bottom of the window. Your PC will now be able to stream content to your LG TV as long as it is connected to the same network. It's in the middle (or the lower-right side) of the remote. Scroll right or left until you find the SmartShare icon, which resembles four colored spheres (red, yellow, green, and blue, respectively), then select the icon with the cursor and press OK. It's a tab on the left side of the screen. You should see your PC's name on the "Devices" page; select it there. Once you open your PC's page, you can browse the video, photo, and music files on your PC. Select any such file to open it on your LG TV. The computer from which you're streaming content must be turned on and logged into your account in order for its files to show up here.
