I can feel this journal affecting my desire for the box. It isn't demonstrated by the nearly quarter of an entire day that I spent watching today, but the idea of having to make an entry every time I changed the channel left with a sense of uneasiness about watching at all. I also spent large portions of time in the kitchen without turning off the TV so that I wouldn't have to make an entry. I deliberated with myself about whether On Demand programming counted as time spent watching TV. I also have been spending a lot more time on YouTube since I don't have to record it.

I think you should be recording hours spent watching You Tube, maybe not necessarily listed segment by segment, but at least as a block. After all, trading a television addiction for a you tube addiction seems akin to giving up cocaine for nitrous oxide.
