Have you ever taken a moment to stop and think about all of the time television has sucked out of your life? I have pondered this in the past as it was brought to my attention that many hours of productivity are lost when you partake in television viewing. So stop and think for a moment about how many hours a day you watch television and be realistic.
If you are running an internet business via blog are you posting everyday? If not does it seem like you just do not have the time? I realized this myself as I noticed I was getting further and further between posts. I thought geese I just do not have any time, I work full time, I am a grad student and I run a business on the side! Guess what? I was kidding myself in thinking that I had no time to spare to create more posts…I watch television. Guilty as charged.
If possible it seems the best solution is just to shut the tv off completely to open up more time. If this is not feasible for you at all, then minimize it. In fact, maybe setting up a schedule for yourself will help. Cutting back even just an hour a day will give you the time you need to write up an article and a blog post to help you build those links and traffic. Try it and and compare your progress over three weeks with less or no tv in comparison to your progress with tv. I bet your results will be shocking.

Personally, I was amazed at how much more free time opened up in my life when I cut out TV. And, of course, that free time was enough for me to start my blog and get it up and running.

As a general rule, I don’t watch TV. Oh sure, there are plenty of entertaining and even educational things on TV, and sometimes I watch with my wife and kids (usually films we put on the DVD player), but generally I stay away.
It was not always so, but at some point it occurred to me that I have a certain number of days to live and I have essentially two ways I can spend them - doing things myself - living! - or watching other people doing things. Suddenly, TV became evil.
Well, maybe not quite evil, but definitely an unwanted robber of my precious time.
