3. TV Bingeing
A 2018 Nielsen report estimates that U.S. adults spend 11 hours a day watching, reading, or listening to television. Not surprisingly, some researchers believe many people have addictions to TV. Signs of media addiction include not being able or willing to predict how much time will be spent watching shows, social withdrawal, and frustration or anger toward anyone or anything that interrupts TV-watching. Consider how you can channel at least some of this time toward what you really want to achieve. Limit your viewing, by canceling subscriptions if necessary. Fill your time with more gratifying experiences:
- Talk or play with family or friends.
- Go walking, cycling, or exercising.
- Work on a business idea.
- Read self-improvement books.
- Start a garden.
- Join a local club or community organization.
- Mentor teens.
