When I moved into my new apartment at the beginning of September, I decided to cable TV along with my cable internet connection. I haven’t had cable for seven years, so this was an exciting prospect for me.
I’ve noticed over these last months that I’ve felt less and less productive. I don’t seem to get as much done at home and I feel like my creative energy is virtually gone—I don’t write or journal nearly as much as I used to. Sadly, it took me quite some time to realize what was different: Cable. Yup – TLC, Food Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, they are all sucking up my productivity and creativity under the guise of teaching me more. I need to develop more responsible TV habits or the cable has got to end. So, this week I’m going to try keeping my remote on top of my very tall bookshelf, so I have to think for a second before I transform myself into a full time couch potato.
