Three Good Ways To Eliminate Television Addiction


#1-The TV should be replaced with family time. If someone is addicted to the TV, he/she should take a break from it to do things with his/her family. Some good family activites are going outside and taking a walk or playing a board game. ALSO: A list of family activites should be made. There are usually endless possibilities once someone frees his/her TV time.

#2-The TV should be ditched. A good strategy to do is someone should give his/her TV away to a friend or needy person who doesn have one. It takes a lot of courage like quitting smoking.

#3-TV time should be scheduled. Every week, someone should spend at least 10-15 minutes looking through the TV guide selecting the shows he/she wants to watch for the entire week. Viewing time should be limited to an hour each day and the shows should be scheduled. This forces someone to make their own choices.

This is a great concept. What about those stubborn teenagers (like me) who aren't that into spending time with their family? Also if people are so addicted to tv what are you good reasons why they should cut down their tv usage? Remember that addictions aren't that easy to get rid of, but I do really like the concept of this blog.
