If I gave up the idea that watching a little tv with a glass of wine is an ideal way to relax after work,  then there would be room for the idea that I'd rather see myself sitting for 45 minutes.  Because I do seem to find time for the former on a regular basis, whereas I complain about not having time enough for the latter. Maybe if I logged that tv time it would be graphically clear where my meditation time is being otherwise spent.

Oooh...good point! It isn't really a matter of time, but priorities. I've been thinking about that off and on for a while now-- not specifically with regard to meditation, but just about how much time is automatically wasted on TV every evening. TV happens to be the easiest thing to do. One thing I thought about trying was starting with just one tv-less night per week, and see how it goes.

I like the point about priorities. It seems to me that we all have the same amount of time, and when we say "I don't have time for that" we generally do mean something closer "I have other activities I enjoy more than that", or "I have other activities that I feel a stronger obligation to", or even "I have other activities that I (feel I) have to do".
