Commercials make up a larger share of time per hour of programming than ever before. That can turn out to be beneficial, if instead of just flipping to another channel with your remote control during commercial breaks, you use that time to complete small tasks.
Commercial advertisements make up about 14 minutes of each hour of broadcast television and more than 15 minutes of each hour on cable television. Commercial breaks are typically three to four minutes long. You can make those breaks productive by:
- Managing your email inbox – Use the three to four minute breaks to manage your inbox, cleaning out emails that need deletion. If cleaning your inbox takes longer than three to four minutes, you can always come back to the task during the next break.
- Make your grocery shopping list – Commercial breaks are a great time to plan out your grocery list. Jot down the items you need on a piece of paper, so you’re ready for your next trip. Like managing your inbox, it’s a task you can easily come back to during subsequent commercial breaks.
- Dust your entertainment center – While the commercials are running, catch up on your cleaning by dusting your television and your entertainment center. Also, clean up your living room or television viewing room during breaks.
