You can combine your love of watching TV with practicing guitar as well! Honestly, there are many very mindless things that come with practicing that boil down to simply working out your muscle memory. This can be done with little to no thought at all and to practice in front of the television is fairly common. Running scale patterns, spider exercises, etc. all can be done while watching TV and before you know it; you have spent a few hours getting your hands in shape. Below is a link to the Guitar Tricks channel where instructor Anders Mouridsen talks about this concept along with some great licks.
