Seriously Americans watch 5 hours of TV a day? Who has the time for that, unless you are sick and you have already slept for 10 hours and all you can do now is lay down and watch TV? I do not watch that much in a week.

Besides that, this seems like a really good idea. No matter what you want to develop this is a really good way of investigating good ways of learning.
Maybe I will try this with something.
Could work well when giving yourself a target of something for the first 30 days, and then for the next 30 days the target could be a deeper target of the first one and so on.
