Starting a Media Diet
Today I’m starting a “Media Diet” as proposed by Tim Ferris in his book “Four Hour Workweek.” Just for one week I can’t watch more than 1 hour of TV per day (which I don’t do anyways). I can’t read any non-fiction books, magazines, or newspapers. I can only read 1 hour of fiction every night and I have to stay away from compulsive web surfing (This is something I do all the time).
The whole idea is to become selective of what you put in. There’s only that much input you need, to be able to give forth good output in life. You can’t read all the time and expect to write tons at the same time! If you want to write tons, then just write tons!
So anyways. I’m in. For one entire week I’ll stay away from my Google Reader and my RSS feeds.
