Final really big quick tip in this initial go through. It relates to something I said earlier about limiting news consumption. But this is more specific. I want you to limit yourself to no more than 90 minutes. Video entertainment per day. Now some of you may think, Well, that sounds an awful lot.
If I want to be productive. I'll never watch any TV. Yeah, that sounds great in theory, but that's like going on a 500 calorie a day diet. It might work for a day or two, it's virtually impossible for most people to keep it. Now you might think that you don't even watch that much video entertainment. But if you add it up each day, you may find that first thing in the morning you may watch a couple of funny videos someone said you may watch a few videos on YouTube or Facebook.
At lunch, you might play some kind of video game. You come home during dinner after dinner, you watch a sitcom your spouse or someone puts on a movie. Then you're watching local news, which really is entertainment. You add it all up. And so many people are not spending 90 minutes a day on video entertainment, it's more like 2345, sometimes six hours a day. This is robbing you of the most productive time you have.
Not necessarily to be out cutting grass or doing more memos for clients, but do things that are more important to you than simply sitting back passively watching video entertainment now. I like video editing. I like watching movies. But one reason why I say 90 minutes is that gives you time to watch a full movie. If you tell yourself you're only going to watch roughly 90 minutes of video Entertainment today It forces you to be more selective. You'll spend time looking for the highest quality of movies, you're not simply gonna turn on episode one of some mediocre sitcom on Netflix.
And just mindlessly go through and binge watch. And, gosh, you started at six o'clock and now it's midnight and you ruin six hours. Again, I don't want to say you can't have entertainment you can't watch video. You can't watch movies when I'm suggesting limited, be selective. And this will free up so much of your time to do other things. read more books, as I talked about earlier, study, create things do your own writing.
Create your own movie, or at least a script or your own stand up comedy or something where you're creating rather than passively sitting back, watching mindless entertaining Take a moment right here and put in the q&a section. What is an example of some form of video entertainment where you could just give it up or reduce it and it wouldn't hurt the quality of your life at all. Just take a moment reflect on that. And write that in the q&a section. I want to know what show Are you willing to give up? Write it down.
