Hey John,
I like the whole section “What I Do With Those Extra Hours” and I love to do same 🙂 but I think Not watching TV is a good idea. I usually use to watch TV at evening and prefer news channels which keeps me update with current affairs, and i think it is very good to stay updated.

On average, I watch less than one show a week. I usually only watch TV with friends as a social event. I find that my time is better spent writing or reading.

it’s interesting, I heard a statistic that said that people are averaging 6 hours of TV a day, which is massive. Like you, I’ve thrown off regular TV for Netflix streaming, which is a great deal. If there is something I can’t get there, I’ll turn to Amazon or iTunes.

In reply to Coleman Jackson. Coleman, I do think watching some TV can be useful, and I mention in the post above what I like to watch.

Hey John,
I love the way u spent your time which you mentioned in “What I Do with Those Extra Hours”. But I don’t think that watching the TV is purely west of time, I generally watch TV 3 to 4 hours in a week and prefer news channels for current affairs and I think it is worthy.

In reply to Lori. Lori, Family Guy is one of my guilty pleasures. My partner Stephanie and I recently took a trip and spent three nights in hotels. It's hard to turn off the TV when cable channels show six episodes in a row of Big Bang Theory.

Guilty. Oh, so guilty.

I keep reasoning that when shows like Breaking Bad are over, I’ll have more time to read. But then Boardwalk Empire reappears, and, well….

Truth is that TV can, and should, stay off until 9 pm. There’s no reason why I need to see three more episodes of Family Guy. Instead, I could be lost in a really great book.

Hi John.
Very nice article. I think this can be considered a big problem, not only for us to manage our time, but also for our children. I think the disadvantages that it brings is too obviously. Gain weight, out of schedule, can not concentrate on business…
It can be a warn for all people who prefer Tv watching to outdoor activities.
Thanks for your information.
