Whether you're anxiously waiting for something or forced to sit in a place you don't want to be (in class, at the dentist, in court, etc.), use the following tips to pass the time until classes are over, it will not be time for the appointment or you will not be engaged in some other activity. Read on for a ton of ideas on how to kill time!
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Commit to Something
Step 1. Dance
Organize a dance party just for you. If you find yourself in a place where you cannot dance or move freely, mentally build a choreography to the notes of your favorite song.
Step 2. Take a nap
It may seem like a rather boring solution, but even dreams can be interesting and with a good sleep time passes quickly. Plus, you'll feel fresher and more ready to take on the rest of the day!
Step 3. Tidy up the film shelf
Sort them by genre, title or even cover color. If you are not at home, you can mentally catalog them. Alternatively, read a book.
Step 4. Write a song
Compose a musical text about something you enjoy doing. If you can't come up with any melodies, arrange the lyrics to the notes of your favorite song!
Step 5. Create your own language
Create a new language and start speaking it. Try to convince other people that this is a really existing language. You will probably have to write down some basic rules to be able to remember it. Pretend you don't understand others when they talk.
Step 6. Tidy up or renovate your room
It may sound boring, but once you get started, time will pass more easily.
Method 2 of 4: Using the Imagination
Step 1. Imagine a conversation
Cover your ears and invent dialogues between the people around you. They can be meaningless or inorganic. Alternatively, try putting them in an intricate story, like those of soap operas. Look at body language and expressions for inspiration.
Step 2. Imagine you are a spy
Think that you have been captured and taken to the room you are in right now. Find a dozen ways to escape and keep the bad guys from chasing you!
Step 3. Get inside someone's head
Try to understand what people around you are thinking. You can think wacky thoughts or try to be realistic. If you want, you can make up a story, for example that of being a psychic mutant who has to find an evil spy.
Step 4. Assign superpowers
Decide what extraordinary faculties the people around you possess. Be creative and imaginative, but invent useful skills. Then decide what your superheroes are called.
Step 5. Remember your loved ones who have passed away
Simulate an imaginary dialogue with a person you love who is gone. What would you think of the way we live? What could he tell you about life after death?
Step 6. Imagine a whole new world
Imagine it as it is now, but with some major changes. For example, what would your life be like if you were in a world where vampires reign in various territories? What would whales say if they could talk?
Method 3 of 4: Have fun
Step 1. Play video games
You can play a game alone or with other people. There are tons of games you can find on the Internet for free; or look for a game to play with pen and paper.
- You can play tic-tac-toe.
- If you want to kill time and have a computer, you can play Battletoads.
Step 2. Start watching a new TV show
Pick one you've never seen before and never thought you'd see. You can also find plenty of them using free Internet services.
Step 3. Make a joke
Arrange a joke on someone. It is best to do this to a person you know because if it is a stranger they may also react badly. For example, you could:
- Change the language settings on a friend's cell phone;
- Spread a layer of cream cheese or melted white chocolate on your roommate's deodorant dispenser.
Step 4. Draw a comic
Make a comic based on your life. You don't have to have any special skills. Consider that one of the most successful comics uses only stick figures!
Step 5. Read a book
Reading is fun! It is informative and makes time pass quickly. Pick up a book you don't think you might like; you might change your mind. Reading can take you to entirely new worlds. Of course, you can also choose books that you find interesting, not just those that don't appeal to your curiosity.
Method 4 of 4: Doing Something Productive
Step 1. Use the Internet
For example, you can log into the wikiHow portal and find the strangest and most original articles or reflect on the topics you are well versed in and write an article yourself. You can find tons of other interesting sites to browse and browse, such as Wikipedia, social networks and much more.
Step 2. Train
You can do stretches, squats, a jog, or bodyweight exercises. You don't have to get tired, but just a little exercise is enough to feel better and pass the time.
Step 3. Make friends
Try to befriend the people you see most often, even if you don't feel like you have much in common with them. You never know, maybe you might get along better than you can imagine!
Step 4. Dream
List the most important things you would like to do in life. Be creative; think of some crazy desire and concrete solution that can make you happy.
