Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- TV
- Ability to move during commercials
Step1
When you are a true couch potato, especially after a long day, you will find that the last thing you want to do is the dishes or the laundry. However, if broken up in small intervals, you can easily complete any task.
Step2
When the show goes to commercial, immediately get up and begin washing dishes. Listen for show to start and when it does, turn off water and head back to the couch! While watching TV, make an effort to collect misc. items in that room and put in a basket or bin to redistribute later. When commercial comes on again, go back to dishes. It may get done in 2 commercials, maybe a whole show consisting of commercials.
Step3
Bring the vacuum into the room when returning from a restroom trip. When commercial begins, turn on the vacuum and zoom away! Repeat this type of behavior and you will find that you can get your relaxation in, as well as your cleaning. If you have a spouse or children, you may also assign them simple duties during their commercials, such as collecting dishes or trash from various rooms or putting items away that you collected in the basket/bin.
