We recently started a routine in our house where at 7pm we turn off the TV. My wife is going through a master's program and studies. My son, like many others right now, is doing distance learning high school so he needs a bit more time to study, which is what prompted this.
I had many months of 60 hours work weeks earlier this year so I've just been binging sci-fi on my Kindle and it's been great. I've enjoyed it much more than Netflix.
I don't blame anyone for binging TV. We don't all need to spend our nights writing a novel or the next great app.
When our family was younger we spent a year or so very proud of the fact that we NEVER watched TV. Then I heard a quote "when you watch TV your brain activity level is lower than when you are sleeping." I thought that sounded wonderful and immediately went out and purchased a TV.
