How to say "Take your time!" in a natural way!

Have you ever hurt your neck while watching TV and wondered if it's been mounted too high? Well, you're not the only one. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who discuss the subject on Reddit every day.

From breaking news to fandoms, and from memes to life's biggest questions, Reddit is a website that encourages people to discuss any subject that interests them.

The platform has over 100,000 communities, or "subreddits," that are created by users. And a subreddit about TV placement is in the top 1% of popular communities.

The community known as "TV Too High" is among the website's largest, with over 200,000 members. Here, photos of TVs in homes, hotels and other spaces are posted and often met with hundreds of comments discussing whether or not the TV has been placed at a good height.

One photo posted to the community in September 2024 showed a TV mounted above a door, with one user commenting, "Spiders on the ceiling fan have a great view."

Another photo showing a TV mounted above a staircase received over 500 comments, with one user saying, "This might be the worst one I've ever seen."

But is there a perfect height for a TV?

One user posted a guide based on advice from the subreddit. It included things like: "If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH," and, "If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH."

Another user posted a photo of a guide from a TV manufacturer. It said the best height for a TV when viewing while sitting down is 107 centimeters from the center of the TV screen to the floor — although some users said this was still too high!

Is Your TV Too High? Reddit Weighs In

Lesson 1: Build a Study Habit as Solid as the Titanic’s Hull
The Titanic’s hull was state-of-the-art, yet it wasn’t indestructible. Similarly, your study habits need to be strong, but they don’t have to be perfect. Start small—just like the shipbuilders who started with a blueprint. Dedicate 10–15 minutes daily to learning your language. Research shows that consistent practice, even in small increments, leads to long-term success.
Your daily routine is your hull. If it’s solid, you’ll keep floating, even when you hit minor obstacles.

Lesson 2: Spot the Icebergs Before They Hit
The Titanic didn’t see the iceberg until it was too late. When it comes to studying, your "icebergs" are distractions, unrealistic expectations, and burnout. Be mindful of these obstacles before they derail you. Set realistic goals, like learning five new words a day instead of fifty.
Think of distractions like incoming icebergs on the horizon—acknowledge them, steer clear, and keep your focus steady.
________________________________________
Lesson 3: Lifeboats Are Non-Negotiable
The Titanic’s lack of lifeboats was its greatest tragedy. In language learning, lifeboats represent backup plans for when life gets overwhelming. Too tired to study grammar? Watch a short video in your target language instead. Feeling stuck on vocabulary? Try a language game instead of a workbook.
Lifeboats are your Plan B—your way to keep moving forward even when your primary routine is disrupted.
