In the last week or so, Lifehacker picked up on a blog entry over at The Simple Dollar discussing completely disconnecting TV (or at least significantly reducing TV viewing). Several suggestions, very good suggestions, are presented for filling the time we gain back.
Ten Financial Reasons To Turn Off Your Television - And Ten Things To Replace It With [The Simple Dollar]
I know for myself, having recently upgraded my two-channel audio system, I have really tried to emphasize music. I find that I am trying to listen and encourage more listening to all types of music in the house. Even trying to turn the music on first thing in the morning on the weekends to avoid falling into the Saturday morning cartoon routine.
We still watch good deal of movies, particularly on Friday and Saturday night. The other week nights have started filing up with swimming lessons and sports practice. Soon we will be out on the patio cooking and playing, if this crazy weather ever settles down.
I've got a few projects planned including a garage sale (which implies cleaning and organizing first), some acoustic treatments for the family room, repairing an old wooden bench, and landscaping.
