This is perhaps my most favorite tip of them all! I haven’t regularly watched television since I was in 11th grade, but I have watched quite a bit of it. When I read “The 4-Hour Workweek,” Timothy Ferriss suggests a low-information diet. His theory is that if you simply ask people “what’s new in the world,” you will find out about most news. He also points out that most news that comes across as events are unfolding is either incomplete or totally inaccurate. I tend to agree.
So I have made the decision this year to completely unplug my television. I will actually get rid of it soon, I’m just not sure what I’m going to do with it. It’d be so much fun to just take it to the dump and destroy it! But we’ll see what ends up happening.
Nevertheless, I have proudly unplugged my television and will soon go about completely killing it! Now if only I could find a way to kill the computer and still write on this blog…
