[...] This Baby Step isn’t coming at you entirely out of left field. Spending large amounts of time either watching television or surfing the Internet is associated with higher rates of depression in both males and females. A recent paper by researchers at the University of Zurich, moreover, suggests that higher levels of t.v. viewing lead to higher material aspirations, greater anxiety, and lower overall life satisfaction. Spending more time away from your screens, however, may lead to greater social connectedness, more variety in your life, and even better sleep. [...]

[...] I am sure, many people will experience positive effects of giving up TV. I know I have. It was so nice to go camping, when I was a kid, to a remote lake without any TV or radio. After several days I was feeling completely recharged. [...]

[...] Came across a random blog today by Steve Pavlina about positive changes he experienced by giving up tv. I have advocated less tv for as long as I can remember primarily due from the fact that we never bought into the cable craze when it first came out on the market (thank god for that). But obviously so many others out there couldn’t even imagine a life without tv. I always find those people *interesting*. [...]

[...] I read this article on Steve Pavlina’s blog called 8 Changes I Experienced After Giving Up TV. So I decided to try it myself. It’s been a little over a week since then and so far, so good. I haven’t watched any TV whatsoever. What it’s done for me is it’s allowed me to tap into my creativity more often and I feel like I have more time to do the things I feel I never have time to do. Like I wanted to start an exercise program before, but I would alsays think, “I don’t have enough time.” Now that TV viewing is out of my daily routine, I find I have more time to do it. [...]

[...] As far as renown goes, Steve Pavlina isn’t a name up there with, say Tony Robbins or Jack Canfield or Max Lucado. I discovered his site some time ago by pure accident (some may say providence) while curiously searching for information about, um, extra sensory perception. Although I later wasn’t too receptive about the articles that dealt directly with psychic development and more esoteric matters, I found (ironically) some of the most sensible, grounded, and non-esoterically applicable advice on issues like identifying mistakes made by the self-employed, learning to accept yourself while still pushing yourself to grow, and improving life by giving up television or coffee.

[...] UPDATE Aug. 15 2006: For a somewhat less radical, but nevertheless eye-opening account, check out Steve Pavlina’s 8 Changes I Experienced After Giving Up TV. He gives a nice overview of his experiment with giving up television. He tried cold turkey, but he did it only for himself, not for his whole family. (Needless to say, I hope he succeeds in getting his wife and children to go along with him, for any one of the reasons I list here.) Most of his experience falls under my reason #6 and 7 (IT MAKES YOUR CONVERSATION and LIFE BORING): he engaged with the real world more deeply and powerfully. Definitely check it out. [...]
