There aren’t enough hours in the day. Don’t you agree?

That’s why I made the decision a few years ago to pull the plug on my satellite television. I was spending about $50 a month for 150 channels and nothing to watch. So the satellite is gone but I still have network tv thanks to a cheap antenna.

I’m not one of those tv snobs who claims to be above it. In fact, I LOVE the Big Bang Theory and my Sunday morning revolves around Mr. Charles Osgood on CBS Sunday Morning. But I try not to allow the television to dictate my schedule or to take up too much time. Sometimes I turn it on for noise in the house while I do chores. Sometimes I can go all day without flipping it on.

And you know something? I don’t miss the satellite and I have found so much extra time to read, walk, do chores and other things I enjoy.

Have you tried it? Why not flip off your tv tonight and do something else? You might be surprised how much you enjoy it!
