How I Quit TV
Simple lah - Cold turkey. I sent my computer for repair. Its been 12 days and counting without Minimon.
The first three days without TV dramas was very very weird, as if suddenly a fog has lifted. I didn’t know what to do with the extra hours between 7pm to 2am.
The first day, I rolled around in bed, facebooking and twittering till 2am.
The 2nd day, with all the facebooking and twittering done the night before left me with nothing to do. So I went to disturb the cats… and forced myself to sleep at midnight.
The 3rd day, I picked up a book and finished it.
The 4th day, I realised I could download and view TV dramas from the superslow Mac.
By the 5th day of cold turkey, I found I didn’t enjoy the TV dramas as much as I used to.
Now, I just download and watch them because I want to know the storyline. But the marginal utility has gone waaay down. I need to do something else, like balance my checkbook, cut nails to distract myself from boredom. So ironic hor.
Maybe it had something to do with living a purposeful life. Cool that I do it now unconsciously. Er.. subconsciously I mean.
