Habits are hard to break

While I am thoroughly enjoying the present IPL series cricket being played in South Africa, what I am already feeling apprehensive about is the void that will come into my life once the series is over. What will I do for the 5 or 6 hours that I will have heavy on my hands. It is quite easy to get into the habit of watching TV, but try weaning yourself off the habit and you will see how difficult it is to do so. Anything that becomes a habit has the same problem, even if it is going down to the club and meeting friends. What one needs to do always is to keep varying one's routine, so that no one action fills up your time. And if one can have a series of pending things to do, all of which you enjoy, you never need be afraid of letting any one activity fill up your time.
