Awesome post.

We have a No TV in our living room.
Sometimes I think it’s our most valuable possession.

Our No TV gives the whole family somewhere between one and six extra  
hours every day. It’s hard to add hours to a day, but the No TV does it.

Miles uses the time for making stop-motion movies and Flash  
animations. Charlotte uses it to read, and write, and compose pieces  
on the piano. I use it for writing (code), and writing (English), and  
to teach myself algebra and geometry and management theory and  
finance. Margaret uses it for her many projects too. We wouldn’t have  
time for any of this, if it weren’t for our No TV.

The No TV comes with other benefits as well. It creates a few square  
feet of floor space. And it pays out a few hundred dollars a year.

In fact, we like our No TV so much, we’ve put one in each of the  
bedrooms too.
