Screensucking

We’re not too good at gobbling, processing or managing details. Yet we throw a lot of info at ourselves – TV content, news content and useless Web content. It’s called screensucking. Good news is we don’t have to. Cuz we DON’T NEED all the data/info we consume. Being informed is good. Being a news junkie is screensucking. Limit intake to the necessary.

Next time you’re about to plop down in front of a TV for an hour of mindless “restful” viewing, smack yourself upside the head and instead sit at a window, on a porch or park bench, or just lie on the couch – and think. Stop screensucking. Start creative thinking. Chances are you’ll think of a solution to a problem you’re facing. Too busy? You had time for TV, right?

If you’re watching a lot of TV – particularly reality TV, sitcoms and crime dramas – you are every minute wasting opportunities to make your life better. You’re also getting unhealthy and mushy-brained. Ditto for excessive online behaviors. Get smart. Put down that remote and pick up a dumbbell, dumbbell!
