It's all down to an effective multitasking

Broadcast TV was a great choice when a> there weren't a lot of other options and b> when everyone else was watching the same thing, so you needed to see it to be educated.

Now, though, you could:

• Run a little store on eBay
• Write a daily blog done
• Write a novel in progress
• Start an online community about your favorite passion done
• Go to meetups in your town done
• Volunteer to tutor a kid, in person or online 
• Learn a new language, verbal or programming done
• Write hand written thank you notes each evening to people who helped you out or did a good job
• Produce small films and publish them online done
• Listen to the one thousand most important operas in progress
• Read a book or two every evening in progress
• Play a game of Scrabble with your family 

None of them are perfect. Each of them are better than TV.

Probably.

Probably not.

I am aware of the fact that TV is ruining my life, and yet I can't let go.

And frankly, I don't want to.

So here is one, for all of you, who, like me, can effectively multitask and manage to keep up with everything that matters.
