Why You Too Should Cancel Cable - Our Challenge to YOU!
March 30, 2006
This really made me think. I don’t watch t.v during the day at all, usually because it’s on to Treehouse T.V. which ends up being background noise to Troll Baby’s playtime. At night, the only shows I care to watch are House, Medium, Survivor and ER. Could I do without them? Sure. I’ve approached Daren before about switching off our satellite for the summer, since we barely ever watch it, but he says no. I’m going to approach attack the family with a challenge, in which the t.v. stays off for 5 days. I’ll bet we don’t miss it. In fact, I’ll bet we reap some of the same benefits as the author of Why You Too Should Cancel Cable.
This article reminded me of Cool Beans’ T.V. Free Tuesday. Every week, her family leaves the t.v. off for one day, and they spend time together. Now what is more rewarding than that?
How much t.v. do you watch? Would you really miss it if it was off? What if you turned it off tonight when you went to bed, and didn’t turn it back on until next Wednesday? What rewards would you get out of it? Board games with your kids? Going outside? Getting things done that you would normally put off for a t.v. show?
Anyone want to participate with us? Leave a comment below if you’d like to join the Troll Baby Family during our 5 day hiatus from t.v. I bet you’ll be glad you did.
