When I came up with my academic plan I knew that I would need to make some lifestyle changes to accomodate the amount of time I’ll need to dedicate to school. Not only that, but a better quality of life period. I need to use my time effectively, and kick procrastination to the curb.
I have 4 tv’s in my house. One in each bedroom and in the livingroom. I will be returning 2 cable boxes. Two out of the bedrooms. I’ve noticed that tv zaps the life outta me. I’m in a vegetative state soon after it goes on. I can feeeel the brain cells dissolving. I don’t have alot of special shows that I watch, nor do I watch a specific program every night, however the dvr is my bestest friend and my worst enemy.
NO TV…thats the plan. It’s a minute change, but I think it’ll effect a big benefit. I’ll go to bed when I’m tired instead of forcing myself to stay up to finish a show. Ideally that’ll give me sufficient rest and more energy. We’ll spend more time together as a family. It would be great if they enjoyed pulling out Connect 4 or some game to occupy themselves. Even going outside to play. My girls T does not go outside to play. T and her diva qualities. Last year I tried to teach them double dutch. That was fun. Bird picked it up…T struggled a bit. I’ll pick it back up this year. The point is with my workload I will be busy. I don’t want my “free” time to be sucked up in fantasy land.
I will also reduce my online time. That’s another killa. Thinking ’bout it…I may take the tv out of Bird’s room as well..I may. Not to mention this will save me a good amount of money each month.
I’m going to see what kind of changes I see and post about it. I remember Psonya wanted to get rid of her cable at one point. Hey Psonya..did you ever do that?
I’m open to activity suggestions. I plan to purchase a few games that I think the girls will enjoy. I have to find that rope. Bird has a bike. I don’t and neither does T. I’ll look into purchasing bikes as well.
