You can have all of those small chores that you don't usually have time for, finished in no time at all. It will be easy to do, instead of counting days to get a job done, you can count how many TV shows it will take, for you to reach your goal!
How many times have you said, "I don't have time to get all of the 'little' jobs done around the house?"
Just think of all of the things that you can do, while watching your favorite TV show! You can have all of the little chores finished in a show or two instead of a week or two.
Sewing hems and small rips in clothing .
There are some things that just hold up better, when they are sewn by hand, but who has the time? You do! It will only take one-half hour show to get it done!
Clip grocery store coupons and put in your coupon organizer.
Now is the time to clip those coupons and get ready for your next trip to the grocery store. Just clip the coupons, add them to your coupon organizer and put your organizer in your purse or glove compartment so it will be handy when you need it.
Clean out and organize all of those dresser drawers, one at a time, of course!
This is a small chore, which only takes a few minutes to do and not a lot of concentration. Throw out what you do not use or is too small, organize what is left and make a note to purchase whatever you may need to add. This way you can wait for the sales and save money at the same time.
Organize your DVDs (this can be done to your CD's too).
It won't take long to, organize them alphabetically, according to categories (mystery, sci-fi, horror etc), or according to the star of the film.
Dust or clean the room while watching your show.
True, you may not want to do this when someone is sitting in the room with you, but you can do this when cleaning alone. Turn on the TV while you are cleaning and it will go much faster. See what you can accomplish, in one TV show.
Water the plants and pull off dead leaves etc.
It does not take long, absolutely 'no' concentration involved and your plants will look healthier. The good things is-it takes less time than the length of one TV show.
Rub oil or lotion on your dry skin.
We never have time to add the oil to our bodies, that the cold winter winds dry up and wilt our skin. The best time is while you are watching TV. Just dab a little on your hand, pick and spot and start gently rubbing it into your skin and pores.
Watching TV can still be relaxing, especially when you see how many things you have checked off your to-do list.
