How to Kill Time Whether you're sitting in a waiting room,
waiting in line, or simply have twenty
minutes to kill before your next class or
appointment, you need to take advantage
of that fleeting mistress we call time. It's
not hard to beat those boredom blues if you use a little creativity! Method One of Four: Killing Time by Entertaining Yourself Close your eyes and
daydream.This is a relaxation technique that teenagers in high
school math or history classes may
have expertise at, but many adults
have forgotten how to do. They're too tense, busy, and hurried to take
time to clear their minds of life's
overflowing clutter. Take a cue from
your younger self and daydream away. Worrying does not count as
daydreaming. If you find yourself
sitting back and planning out how
your life should be going, you're
not doing it right. Some people just
aren't daydreamers -- if you're one of them, don't force it. There's
about a bajillion more tips you can
try down this page. Go outside. Have a picnic. Play frisbee. Try flying a kite. Sometimes the simplest things are the
most rewarding -- and the most
surprisingly fun. Even a walk is healthy
and entertaining! If you don't have a ton of time to
kill, just take a walk around your
neighborhood. Make an effort to be
observant -- how many things can
you spot that you never noticed
before? Think about all your senses -- what can you hear, see, smell,
touch, and taste? You might
discover something interesting. Take the don't-stare-at-your-
phone challenge. The next time you're in a group full of people who is
killing time, take note of how many
don't have their phones whipped out.
You definitely won't need a calculator.
Even the ones who know each other
will have their phones in hand and head down, playing Candy Crush, Words with
Friends, or just pretending to be texting
someone they like better. We've
become a society that doesn't engage.
RESIST. YOU CAN DO IT! Or cave and take pictures of people
staring at their phones. It's hard
being the only one with your hands
not clutching some lit-up piece of
plastic, isn't it? That way you're still
making a statement...sort of. Go bother someone. Anyone. Whenever someone asks you to do something, say "Would you like some
fries with that?" Annoying to them, but
fun for you. Annoying people is the best. Try it! Axe bombs , anyone? This one must be done with care.
Staring at people until they're
visibly uncomfortable, while fun,
can result in confrontation. Holding
your finger two inches from
someone's face while saying, "Not touching you!" is entertaining, but
risky when done with strangers.
Pick your battles. This doesn't have to be done in
person. You could always Rick roll people online or start trolling. If they have any sense at all, they'll
thank you. Find new music. If you've been listening to the same playlist of 15 songs on your iPod nano since 2004, it's
time to switch it up. Finding new music
is easier than ever before. Sites like Noisetrade.com[1] offer free music downloads from budding artists, all at
the click of a button. And being trendier
than your friends is always rewarding. You're already on Spotify and
Pandora, right? Good. Now just
make efforts to go outside your
zone of aural comfort. Gems are
just waiting to be found. Ask your
friends for ideas or look up similar artists to ones you already like on
the web. Remember these two words:
Rubik's Cube! Even if you're not the best at it, it's fun to practice! And it
makes a great conversation starter.
Sure, that conversation might be, "Oh,
hey! Rubik's cube! I can do it way faster
than you!" But it's still a conversation. Don't move the stickers and don't
look up the answers. Then you'll
just finish and have more time to
kill. But if you're going to do
it...might as well use wikiHow's Solve a Rubik's Cube article. Advertisement Method Two of Four: Killing Time by Gaining Knowledge Read a book. This should be your go-to when you have time to kill. Being well-read is a quality that will pay off multiple times daily. If you have
an oncoming wait during your day,
bring a magazine or paperback book
along with you and catch up on this
often ignored hobby. Yeah, yeah, your Kindle counts, too,
but you stare at a screen so much
already -- why not rep it old school
and bring something that smells
like the libraries of yore? Read someone else's blog. Okay, some people just don't have the book-reading mentality. Others didn't
know they'd be stuck in this time-limbo
and didn't think to bring a book with
them. If either is your case, hop online
(like you just did! Yay!) and read
someone else's blog. Odds are you'll either laugh, cry, or get to mock them
in your head extensively. Win, win,
win.If you're unsure of where to find a
good blog, you have no excuse.
Huge publications like Time
Magazine release a list of the year's best blogs annually. [2] There are even blog awards (they're called the Bloggies)![3] There's a whole world out there you're
probably missing! Talk to the people around you. Huh, talk about a crazy idea, right? So archaic and mundane. Remember the
last time you went to a Starbucks and
actually talked to someone, apart from
muttering "I need coffee and stat" to the
hipster-looking barista? After
wondering how she justified that employment choice to her hipster
friends, you sat down and spent three
hours sifting through your gmail. So
don't do that. The people around you
are much more interesting than those
angry birds of yours. This might get awkward, especially
if you don't do it right. And unless
you're British, a quick, "Wow, sure
is hot out," might just result in a
few askance looks. However,
awkward never killed anyone. If you're lucky enough to find
someone not staring at their phone,
give 'er a try. Especially if they're
cute! Study! Imagine that. You didn't come to this webpage for so- obvious-they're-not-obvious ideas, did
you? But we don't mean studying as
whipping out that textbook from 2005
you never actually opened in class but
the bookstore wouldn't take back
anyway, we mean something much more interesting -- the Internet. Sites like Memrise, Academic Earth,
Coursera and Khan Academy make
studying and learning awesome.
Pick a topic, there's something
there to learn. With videos and
graphics, even the most ADD minds will be contented. Search the internet for tutorials
or watch funny videos online. You're on wikiHow already, aren't you?
Might as well find out how to fake having a boyfriend or how to combine fruit and mayonnaise in a good way . Think of all the things you don't know
how to do! And then do them. YouTube is good too, but you might
get sidetracked with Miley Cyrus
videos and that's just risky. Stick to
VideoJug or HowCast to avoid the
temptation.

lyk serzly...what iz it u're implying?
