3 Things You Can Do During Commercial Breaks

I do things like sweep the floor or dust or wash a few dishes during commercial breaks, so I get a little exercise. I drink water while I'm watching, but I might get up and get a cup of tea or something during a break. The third one is good... I'll have to remember to do that. I might not turn the sound back on again. :)

3 Things I can do during commercial breaks: 1. check my phone for any messages 2. walk around the house 3. cuddle with my cat

1. I would check my phone for messages. 2. do the laundry and hang the finished clothes. 3. buy food from nearby store or cook lunch or dinner.

Here are the 3 things I do during commercial breaks: 1. bathroom break = time to empty your bladder. you don't want to leave in the middle of an exciting cliffhanger scene. 2. get more snacks or refill a drink = my tendency is to keep on munching and sipping soda when watching tv 3. watch the commercials = most of the commercials these days are very creative, humorous, witty, and exciting to watch as well that it becomes talk of the town. who wouldn't wanna miss this?

Well a commercial here in Canada can be anywhere from 20 to 45 seconds depending on the channel and the time so depending on that and the size of your house you could quickly take a washroom break, grab a snack or drink, make a quick call or check emails or throw something in the oven for dinner and run back to the tv!lol Ya that's about what I could taking in all the factors.lol

during commericals i sometimes like to.. 1) grab something to munch on from the fridge 2) bother my younger sister who is on the computer to much.. I really think thats about it commericals are usually 2-5 mins doesnt allow me to do much.

Very good points!! I love it!I almost always push the mute button. Actually if I am watching football I watch the whole thing muted! The fickle announcers get on my nerves! I love your ideas and I may try them! thanks!

I can't wait for commercial breaks sometimes. it is the perfect opportunity to get the snack i have wanted or to use the bathroom. I try to get all of the interruptions out of the way before the commercials have ended.

Hi Dev, I do not have a television set at my place, but I do watch some of those Television things when at my dads' place along with my brothers' son. We both love watching the toons and whenever there is a commercial break 1. we both end up in some sort of mimicry for the toon that we just watched... maybe he will try out speaking the way the character did and I would just go on being the bad bully there.. So that is one. 2. Other times when he is not there, I shift channels to find if anything like a good song is playing on any of the channels 3, I land up on a channel playing a good advert and I watch that one... Cheers, theSids

Wow, that's a good suggestion. It is making the most out of those breaks. This is also a time to rush to the C.R. to unload. LOL

Yeah, we have to get mobile for a long time- not just seconds..I can't believe how long commercials take these days, sometimes even longer than the actual show. Exercising is definitely a good thing to do during commercial breaks.. Thanks for sharing. Well, I turn the tv off sometimes because the breaks are long...

Hi! 1. Get some snacks. 2. Water Break. 3. Bladder Break.

Great tips! I think people watch too much tv in general, even though I personally try to avoid it, and if you can do something useful while you do it, it makes the time more productive. I think it is also possible to exercise for instance while you watch the shows as well. I have a stationary bike that I ride when watching tv for instance, and that is really easy to do, to be honest.
