Boycott The News Channels!! |Why To STOP Watching The News in 2018!

Key wellness + productivity strategies from the video

• Stop “news dumping” / avoid watching the news entirely

  • The creator says constant news intake creates a mind “rotting” effect with negativity, which spills over into conversations and everyday mood.
  • They argue news content (politics/parties) is largely not actionable for individuals and often just increases stress.

• Do a “habit shift” at the start of the day

  • Replace turning on TV/news in the morning with calming and constructive routines, such as:
    • Meditation
    • Going to the gym / exercising
    • Eating healthy meals
  • The idea is that starting the day positively helps prevent the whole day from becoming negative.

• Use the time you’d spend watching news for growth actions

  • Instead of 3–5 hours of evening news-watching, use that time for:
    • Workouts
    • Volunteering
    • Building a business (or starting one you’ve wanted)
    • Creating content (e.g., starting a YouTube channel) as a path toward fulfilling goals and potentially income
    • Improving your career (including getting a part-time job)

• Reduce financial stress by taking personal control

  • Suggested practical action: earn extra income (e.g., 2–3 nights/week) to help with debts.
  • The creator frames it as a way to:
    • Generate extra monthly cash
    • Potentially pay off credit cards faster
  • Core message: your financial outcomes are mostly driven by what you do, not politicians or news narratives.

• Improve mental health with alternative media

  • If you want audio/entertainment without negativity, consider listening to audio books instead of news.

• Prioritize relationships and quality time

  • The video encourages spending more time with:
    • Friends
    • Family
    • Coworkers
  • The goal is more meaningful connection rather than passively consuming negative content.
