PC-fast

Our next step with reducing the reliance on screens/visual stimuli will be a computer-fast at the weekend. This will mean no more LifeHack articles etc, no FB, no WhatsApp on my phone. 

Starting next weekend.

Switch off the TV

We have a TV-fast Monday and Tuesday nights, frequently Wednesday too. No TV at all.

On other nights we either watch a movie from our collection, a LoveFilm rental or a pre-recorded DVD we have purchased. We don't actually have a TV ariel.

When we do watch TV it tends to be 1 movie maximum or 2 episodes maximum. Seldom this much and never any more.

Our choice of viewing is exclusively non-violent, non-medical, non-horror, not too thrilling, nothing frenetic (with fast editing), nothing depressing or miserable. We use TV for entertainment only. Musicals, comedies and romance predominates.

Her

Superb movie about human relationships. Immensely enjoyable and thought-provoking.
