Have also wondered why luxury products that are designed exclusively for the rich are rarely advertised? Products from Rolls-Royce to krispy kreme are not advertised and yet the companies making them are very successful. One main reason is the 'rich' which these products are targeting are very minute part of any population and they rarely watch TV. So it is a waste of resources putting up advertisements that will be watched mostly by people that can not afford the product.
Which brings me to the theme of this post "Don't waste your limited time watching TV.
A friend trying to defend the time he spends watching TV said "but some TV programs are educating". Education comes from reading or listening and making note, writing the points somewhere for future reference. I asked him how many times have he watched TV with a notepad and pen in his hand. Of course he had no answer. TV is primarily for entertainment and most programmes on it are designed to be.
TV is the number one time waster for a whole lot of people. And one important lesson most successful people know is
Time is the most important yet limited resource.
It is very easy to spend hours watching movies and TV shows while losing track of the precious time.
Everytime you are watching other people on TV and they are getting paid.
And you? You leave the productive activities that will add values to your life unattended to. So what is it for you?
I tell you, getting away from TV is not as easy it as it sounds. Many times I have to run away from it to my 'private' spot to get things done.
Conclusion
Be like the rich if you are not yet. To be successful, you have to mirror whatever good they are doing. And not wasting time, lazying on the couch, watching movies and TV shows is one of them. Yes, use it to unwind after completing your set goals for the day. But never let it cost you your precious and your productivity in extension.
Good time management is important to the successful people. You can't achieve good time management by wasting it on TV. Be like the successful people, stay away from TV as much as you can.
