 Hide the Television Remote and Keep a Book by the Couch¹

 

把电视遥控器藏起来,在沙发边放一本书

 

 

There's nothing wrong with watching television. But for many of us, the TV becomes a default² activity. It's all too easy to come home, slump³ on the couch, and reach straight for the remote without even thinking。

 

If that's a habit you're trying to break, put the remote somewhere else. Hide it in a cupboard or on a high shelf. That way, you'll have to make a real decision to watch television。

 

 

You can go even further with this by putting a book that you want to read, or something else you want to get on with, next to the couch。
