A lot Media, So Little Time

new balance 670 femme I'd been interviewed in the Chicago Tribune by the journalist who had previously been grappling together with his wish to enjoy more leisure time by watching more movies & television and reading more books. He was concerned that his lists of must-view tv, books you just read, and flicks experiencing kept growing, but his available media consumption time hasn't been keeping pace. I've summarized this content here in a persons vision of providing you with more amusement. You're welcome!

Adding new items to your media consumption wish list without removing anything, comes at a cost. It will be sleep; it will be time with friends; whatever it is, make certain you're happy to pay the price of adding more. Otherwise, make use of the four Ds to assist you pare:

Delete - Would it not feel happy to scale back your guilt by getting rid of something from the queue of obligations? Could you experience the result of not watching or reading everything? Rather than hope that illness or injury gives you an excuse to invest a month within the couch catching up on the shows you've recorded, give yourself permission to savor the best of what's there guilt-free, and allow the rest go.
Diminish - Fast forward on TiVo. Take on that you have a fantastic foundation of knowledge with a subject from other sources. For example, is it necessary to watch your entire six- hour Ken Burns cancer documentary, or is the current knowledge good enough? Could you just watch the final hour to hear a directory of the newest findings?

Delegate - Do you have to watch it or see clearly, or would reading an overview or synopsis do great enough?
Go with the flow. Setting a pattern, like reading one old book reading two a new, may be helpful. But it really can be confining. For anyone who is within the mood to read another new book after already reading two new ones, by golly, read another new book. Through your enjoyment, right?

Be true to yourself. Take pleasure in the media because you want to, not because you think you ought to. So what in case you haven't seen the most recent movie everyone's referring to - welcome to my well being! Whether or not I am not saying always section of the cultural conversation, I'm Happy with it i still find lots of items to talk about with friends and colleagues.

Here's to more pleasurable leisure and fewer guilt.
