The No T.V. Initiative

The hubs approached me the tail of week before last with the thought of giving up T.V. during the week. The reason being that it is just too easy to come home, turn on the boob tube, and then tune out. We would eat in front of the T.V., talk in front of the T.V., and then wonder where the time had gone when we looked up from the T.V. to find it was past our bedtime. So I said sure, give up the T.V. during the week. I can't really say that my productivity has greatly increased, as I can always find ways to distract myself and I'm pro at procrastinating but the few nights when the action bug does bites, I find it easier to do what needs to be done whereas before I would have had to wait until the end of the episode or at least the next commercial. And we haven't missed it. OnDemand over the weekends gets us caught up on the few shows we do follow and I have absolutely loved sitting at the table to eat. My Spotify account has gotten a lot more action too.
