Using time productively

I cant imagine it's been a while already since the last time I wrote. It's so easy to get distracted by wasteful entertainment that is of no benefit to the mind. It just weakens my mind and my mental capability. I need to stay focused on things that benefit me and not get carried away by things that waste my time, and waste my self.

I have a big plus in this matter though. I don't watch TV (my biggest problem is the computer). I find that for many people TV is just part of their everyday life. They cant live without TV. Everything they think about, talk about is somehow related to TV. I see such people around me all the time. They discuss so seriously about which idol will be voted out and how they got disappointed by someone's exit, and different characters from TV shows that I have no idea about...in this regard I'm very different from the crowd...and I am happy I am.

I am glad that I am not part of the crowd that switches off their minds and spends hours in front of their TVs not even realizing that they are capable of producing something on their own, that something original can come out of their being. Most of the time it's only one-way traffic...information keeps flowing into them, it doesn't get processed (there's no time for that because the next flood of information flows right after one) nor does anything original of their own flow out.

I am thankful that I realized how TV can make a person less productive. But I still need to control the unproductive time I spend on the computer...I still need to bring out my thoughts and ideas and write more...
