Well, it’s been about 2 weeks since I decided to get rid of my DirectTV and TV in general. A few days ago I finally packed up my directTV receivers and mailed them back. YIKES! So, the experiment begins…
The first few days were found with some extra time which was nice. I actually got to bed a little earlier too and I got a LOT done. I have to say that I love not watching the news, which is 90% negative most of the time. You may think that I would be out of the “know” or current worldly or local events. Nope, trust me, friends and relatives will keep you informed, ‘Did you you hear?”…also there is the internet, yahoo updates and such. For the most part living in oblivion is nice too! The weight of the negative stuff put in the news isn’t put on my shoulders. Very nice, very nice indeed.
Side effect: After the first week i started to replace TV time with computer and BlackBerry time and even naps! LOL! The computer thing was bad for a few days and my thumbs started to kill me from working the blackberry. So now I’m working on time management with those two items. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another.
I recommend this little experiment to anyone looking to free yourself of all the clutter that enters our brains from the television. See how much free time you acquire. I have to say that my daily productivity has definitely went up.
If you are a current boot camper of mine, try this out for a week. You may find you have more time for your kids, you get to bed earlier and you feel more positive!
I’ll keep you all posted as I head into week 3….
Also, some of my future posts will contain ab exercise ideas…a request from one of my campers, Michaela. Any other ideas anyone wants me to write about just let me know!
Ok, off to bed I go….TV FREE!
