Many of us default to watching TV in the evening. While we’re in an era of really brilliant TV, you want to take at least a few nights off per week to do something better with your time. Read a book, call a friend, exercise, have a candlelit floor picnic with your roommate. Get vulnerable and get into a serious conversation with your partner. Have a silent disco with your family. In general, bring consciousness to how you use your time, and do the activities that actually enrich your life.
