How to Watch TV All Day and Still Get Good Grades 

By: Alyssa Davis

Step 1: Use your time wisely. There is a scarcity of time in the day to do everything you want. So multitask to get everything done, while also watching a lot TV.

• watch TV while you eat
• listen to an audiobook while your in the car 
• watch TV while you get ready for school
• if you watch TV live - do homework on commercial breaks
• multitask and watch tv while you do homework!

Step 2: Pick your favorite shows. You can't watch everything and still get good grades. You must narrow down the shows you watch. The show has to have a greater incentive then studying. Just ask yourself - Does this show mean more to me then an A+ on my chemistry test? If the answer is yes - Watch It!

• don't watch anything live - by streaming or watch Netflix you can save time by not having any commercials

Step 3: Know when to stop watching TV. There is a point where you have to stop watching TV and study. Learn when that point is for you. If you have a test the next day know how long you are going to need to study for it. Self control is a hard thing but its the reason many people can watch TV yet still get good grades. Just figure out the point where you have to start studying or doing homework. 

• if its too hard to just stop watching TV and study - use TV as a reward
• study for an hour then watch a 30 minute TV show
• if you can't figure out if you should start studying or just keep watching TV go back to step 2 and ask yourself the question again. Figure out if the incentive to do homework is greater than watching TV.

With these 3 steps you should be on your way to getting good grades while also having fun and watching TV.
