This has nothing to do with spirit or religion (both fantastic things).
But it does have to do with how to live long in life.
What I’m about to say might not be incredibly popular. But on the other hand, with the Wealthy Affiliate community being what it is, this life hack might be appreciated.
Guess we will see!
I’ve never been into watching much TV. In fact, we don’t even own one.
There goes half the people who were reading this…
I’m not an alien. Sometimes I will download movies to watch on our computer or tablets.
And I’ve subscribed to Netflix on and off when there are specific shows I’m interested in.
Unless you are a math nerd like me and have already crunched the numbers on this before, you may not have considered the numbers I'm about to lay out.
The average time spent watching TV DAILY (in America, not sure for other countries) is four hours.
Take four hours day for a week (7 days) and you get 28 hours.

That’s 120 hours after a month.
And 1460 hours after a year.
Most start watching TV around the age of three or four.
Let’s think positively and say you live until you are 90 (you could live much longer).
Your grand total would be 127,020 hours of watching TV.
Hopefully I didn’t lose anyone.
Let’s take this one step further.
The average man is awake 14 hours a day.
Take 127,020 and divide this by 14 and you get 9072.
If you take 9027 and divide this by 365 (days in a year) then you reach 24.8 years.
Round that up to 25.
I’m sure you see where I’m going with this now…
That is 25 YEARS of awake days you would add to your life by removing TV.
Just saying…
Could you put an extra 25 years to use?
Even if you knocked off a couple hours of TV a day, you would still give yourself 12 more years of activity.
What could you do with this extra time?
