I found that uninstalling television also saved a lot of time or at least &quot;stopped&quot; me watching random crap.<p>Anecdotally we had a 2-3 week period where the whole family had no TV&#x2F;Internet access. I was quite disappointed when it all came back on and the board game nights and even the ad-hoc charades  stopped. We do however have weekly game nights. I still consciously choose to only watch &quot;planned&quot; TV programmes.
