Hide the Television Remote and Keep a Book by the Couch
把电视遥控器藏起来,在沙发边放一本书)
There's nothing wrong with watching television. But for many of us, the TV becomes a default activity. It's all too easy to come home, slump on the couch, and reach straight for the remote without even thinking。
看电视没什么错。但对于我们许多人来说,电视成为了一项默认的活动。回到家中,窝在沙发里,想也不想就伸手拿遥控器,这一切都太容易了。
If that's a habit you're trying to break, put the remote somewhere else. Hide it in a cupboard or on a high shelf. That way, you'll have to make a real decision to watch television。
如果你想改变这种习惯,就把遥控器放在别的地方。把它藏在橱柜或者高的架子上。这样一来,你就需要慎重决定要不要看电视了。
You can go even further with this by putting a book that you want to read, or something else you want to get on with, next to the couch。
你还可以更进一步,把一本你想读的书,或者别的你想看的东西放在沙发边上。
