Turn Off the Television

Throw your television away! Ninety-five percent of television is negative. Who needs more negative in their lives? Television robs more people of their valuable time then any instrument ever invented. Don't worry about keeping up with the news. If there's a nuclear war some¬one will let you know about it.
Although scrapping the television would be better than constantly watching mind constricting programs, there must be some balance in our television time. Television, a marvelous invention that could be used for improving and inspiring us, has become a terrible influ¬ence on our children and suggestible adults. Unwise choices in program selection can erode our minds and waste our time. Let us all - everyone of us - break the habit of flipping on the set when we walk in the room...and let us monitor what we watch.
Rest and Relax

Relaxing, a good use of time, saves energy and improves concentration, enabling you to get more done faster. Rest and think a few minutes before and after meetings. Break up your work schedule with a 10 minute respite every 90 minutes. Walk and/or nap 30 minutes each day. Avoid work on Sundays. A lumberjack knows that the oak cuts faster when he takes time to sharpen the ax.
