没时间读书？远离电视！

One of the most common questions people ask me is: “how do you find time to read all of these books, work on new projects, and maintain this site when you have a full-time job?”

人们问我最多的一个问题是：“你有一个全职工作，但是哪来时间读那么多书、从事一个新项目、并维护这个网站的？”

My answer is simple. I don’t watch TV.

我的答案很简单。我不看电视。

When we moved to New York City in January, my wife and I decided not to bring our TV. This simple decision saved us a very significant amount of time, money, and space in our small Manhattan apartment. As a direct result, we spend more time together, read more, and accomplish our personal projects more quickly.

当我一月份搬到纽约时，我妻子和我决定不买电视。这是我们在曼哈顿岛公寓中能节省大量时间、金钱、空间的决定。一个直接结果是，我们拥有更多在一起的时间、读取、更快的完成个人项目。

If I spent my time watching TV instead of working on the Personal MBA, you’d still be waiting for the new recommended reading list!

如果我不为Personal MBA工作而在看电视的话，你将一直在等着推荐阅读列表。

Just like traditional MBA programs, the biggest cost of TV consumption is not the expense (although it’s significant)… it’s the opportunity cost of time that could be put to better use: investing in your skills, working on projects that are important to you, and enjoying the company of other people.

与传统的MBA一样，电视最大的开销不在于他的价格（尽管也很昂贵），而是占用了我们本可以做更多有益的事情的似乎间：投资自身技能、致力于对你来说重要的项目，以及享受与其他人一起的时光。

Here’s a recommendation: commit to 30 days of a TV-free life. Pay attention to how much unstructured time you have, and find ways to use that time as constructively as possible. Read a good book, take a class, exercise, write, or spend time with friends. You’ll be amazed at how much you get done and how much better you feel each day.

这里有一些意见：保持30天的无电视生活。关注一下你有多少松散的时间，找到利用这些松散时间的方法。读一本好书、上一门课、锻炼、写作、或与友同行。你将会惊奇的发现，你能做更多的事情，并且每天都会感到愉快。
