After TVs were created and TV-programs have been developed for more varieties, nowadays if we were asked about time-spending in a day, we probably find that watching TV may comes in the first rank. If all of the programs showing on TV are useful, we should keep watching them. Nevertheless, the programs that addict people are mostly wasteful and may lead to some negative results such as damaged vision, obesity or laziness. The ways that can control TV-addiction were found in the following:

1. Spending more time in other activities
Playing sports or hobbies: Finding the game that we like to play. There are plenty of benefits from playing the games than watching TV. We may have new companions, gain body strength, or develop our planning strategies by engaging in beloved sports or hobbies.
Reading books: A lot of valuable books are waiting for us to discover. Find an interesting book and finish it. No one doesn't recommend reading books.
Having pets: Pets may reduce our time on TV. We may go jogging with our dogs or playing with lovely cats.

2. Manage time schedule appropriately
Watching TV may not be counted as TV addiction if we manage time appropriately. Also, all of TV programs aren't useful as well as aren't all wasteful. Therefore, in appropriate daily schedule, pick some useful channels while watching TV.
