3 hours a day

Read an interesting stat today. Most Americans watch an average of 3 hours of television per day. Over a year, that’s more than 45 days of television watching! Crazy!

So turning off the television instantly would instantly give you an extra 45 days a year to do other things you enjoy – like reading, playing softball, frisbee or just spending time with your family.

Of course there are other ways to consider this stat – if you having trouble finding time for things you want to do – realize that by spending just 3 hours a day working on it – you’d gain 45 days a year to focus on that one thing.

Want to learn a new language? 45 days a year would probably make a huge difference? Want to spend more time reading? 45 days would be a huge improvement.

What will you change to gain 45 days of your life back? Or what will you spend 45 days of your life doing this year?

  1. My wife and I used to watch quite a bit of TV in the early to mid 90’s. (Remember Must See TV?”

    We both noticed we never seem to have enough time for hobbies, other interests, or anything else.

    We’ve weened off TV years ago. I have cable with over 150 channels and I maybe watch an hour a
    week. I do have some shows that I like but just catch them every so often.

    I really don’t miss it and I wouldn’t go back to
    must see TV.

    Unfortuately, I am fighting computer addiction now and spend too much time on it.
