9 Productivity Tips for Writers, Designers, Photographers and other creatives who - uh - aren't "creating" at the moment

6. Ditch your TV. I hear screams at this suggestion but hear me out! Four years ago, the TV was banished from our house and since then I have written four books, started a business and now have a Top 10 Blog for Writers! (as well as a day job and home life). TV is a time suck, the programs you want to watch are padded with adverts and you end up watching other shows just because they’re on. I still watch programs I enjoy (Glee, Fringe, Bones and Castle!) but I download episodes on iTunes so it takes 45 minutes instead of hours of distraction. This leaves more time to be creative or to spend time blogging/social networking.

Yep... number 6 is an awesome tip. While I didn't totally throw it out, I can tell you it is on less than 4 hours a week.

Three if it is off season of "The Closer".
