Join My January Challenge - Simple, Yet Life Changing
**Challenges are fun. Especially when it’s one that you actually can manage to complete. Here’s a challenge from me to you, that I can absolutely guarantee will change your life for the better.**

 ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/hn00ve9ujg.jpg)


It’s simple and it doesn’t have to cost anything! 

# No TV or videos for a month 

# Listen to podcasts - Read books - listen to audio books


Simply swap all TV, series and videos for books and podcasts. Podcasts are free and available on Spotify and on your smartphone’s podcast app or just on websites.
Books can be borrowed at you local library or borrowed from friends. There are also a LOT free ebooks on Amazon. If you don’t have a Kindle, simply download the Kindle app! 


I guarantee you this will improve your life. Learn new things, laugh and cry! 

The cool things about podcasts are that they can be listened to while driving, while cleaning the house or while you work.

And with books, there are no limit as to what you can experience. Read a travel book and you can almost feel like you’re being teleported to another place. 
Learn new skills, be inspired, develop yourself.

My favorite kind of books are non-fiction. I read biographies, and books about business, marketing, crypto currencies, food, traveling, fitness, self development, economy and historic events.

Some of the best books I read in 2017.


And here are some podcasts that I shared with you guys in an earlier post.

If you want to take on this challenge, let me know in a rely below. I am doing it too! And I’d love to hear from you how you feel after the challenge, and what you’ve been reading and listening to.


Susanne

Great challenge, Susanne. Actually one of the things that i promised myself to do was to exchange tv for books, since  i read a study/research last month that said that people that read more could develop more their brain and vocabulary than by watching TV. By the way love the steemit hat ;)

Even if this challange contains some part of my behaviours, it still could be a habit changing challenge. Any of that can easily teleport any one to another place on earth. Seeing Become Nomad on the list is too nice. It gives the chance to read useful content about life, gives a new perspective for life.  Advicable sharing @susanne . Thank you ma'am

Love this. Also big ups for the podcast recommendations, a few there I have not heard about or tried so will definitely check those out in the coming week. 

Some personal top reads for 2017 I've had: 

Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harari
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey
Fooled By Randomness - Nassim Taleb
The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand

If you're into travelling, vlogs, self-development, fitness etc feel free to check out my channel, otherwise keep it up and I see you around ! :)

I've enjoyed a bit of a technology detox since Christmas :) especially now that I joined my family to our winter cabin to end the year in the most peaceful place I know of :)

I think making one day per week a day with 0 technology is very healthy. + Very few of us consume as many books and ideas as we ought to. So a good way to satisfy each need!

I'm in ;)

Great challenge.  What if I have already been doing this (the only tv I watch has been live sporting events) for the last 3+ years?  Your post is right on the nose, I try to take in an audio book every few days.  I've pretty much exhausted my local library's file of older audio books that I can find the least bit interesting, so I am basically checking out the newer audio books as they are released.  I am always looking for content rich documentaries on a very wide array of topics.  Curiosity as knowledge is continually added only gets greater.  It is without the healthiest addiction someone can encounter in their life.  Excellent challenge great post, I fully support and respect the heck out of anyone who takes this challenge and has this similar revelation hit them in such a positive light.  In fact, my using this platform (starting two weeks ago) came fully due to @bluerocktalk, Connie Willis, a weekend anchor for Coast to Coast AM interviewed Stan Larimer on the national evening talk show, immediately catching my interest, and the rest is history.  Wonderful suggestion for all to follow, @susanne keep up the great work!

Cool! It's important to inspire people to grow their mind and mindset. I'm not sure @kariofthenorth and Line were up to the task when moving here, but they've survived the first two weeks with no tv. (we've been watching movies on the laptop though.. ) Instead we've had some great conversations! :D  
I'll check out some of the podcasts and books and add them to my already growing list of interesting reads and listenings. :)
