10 Tasks You Can Complete During An American Idol Commercial Break

I love American Idol, but its commercial breaks are longer than the show itself. If you add the previews (which duplicate most of the content,) there’s time to accomplish quite a bit between segments.

How do you use all that time?!

Here’s my list of 10 tasks you can complete during an American Idol commercial break:

1. Pay the bills.
2. Give the dog a bath.
3. Clean out the garage.
4. Make popcorn… for the neighborhood.
5. Repair a popped balloon.
6. Install software on Windows.
7. Navigate the menu of telephone prompts to get a live person at the phone company.
8. Replay Obama’s inaugural address.
9. Explain Twitter to your grandmother.
10. Delouse a screaming child.

Those commercials make up a good part of one’s evening. Why just sit there?
