Question: How do you manage to read, write and socialize so much after a 60 hour day job?
Answer: I don’t watch TV.

Multiply it by 800 million people online and suddenly, there’s a huge influx of hours just waiting to be put to good use.
I have written before about why I don’t watch TV — you watch television to turn your brain off and I prefer my brains turned on.
