Ever since I have been assigned to write this article, I have been running around like a headless chicken trying to figure out what to write about. There is so many to write about and so little at the same time. The Egyptian streets are extremely inspirational and yet frustrating at the same time, they can either produce a writer, or a perspective suicidal maniac. Anyway, I decided to stay in and try to get inspired by what I watch on TV or read online; still nothing!!!
As the clock kept on ticking indicating the time passing, I couldn’t help to realize that I’ve wasted so much time on my hands doing absolutely nothing!! The thought was just scary. All I could think of was that this was lost time of my life that I will never be able to regain. I started going back with my memory on all those days were I had millions of things to do, and I ended up doing nothing because I just wasted my time in mere nothingness. And only then I got inspired. As I recall, my dad always called me the queen of wasting time, however the thought never hit me expect now. I decided to write an article about how to do anything (2ay 7aga), and I mean anything that is time wasting if you want to pass time in your office or at school when you’re simply not the mood to be productive.
Please bear in mind that this is a destructive rather than an instructive article, but I believe in the saying “If you want to do something wrong then you might as well do it right”.
Now that I’ve introduced you all to the idea; here we go.
There are billions of things a person can do to in order to waste while working or studying without being caught by your boss or your parents. We all know that we are all stuck in a certain venue, either at the office or at a desk, till a certain hour of the day. So if you want to pass or waste your time, the least thing you should do is to try to enjoy that wasted time while pretending to be working at the same time.
The key rule here is to always do things that involve work or study materials.
And the list of time wasting methods begins:
- You can always try to write down your thoughts on a piece of paper. It is always useful to write what you feel every now and then as a way of releasing some of that anger or frustration that one might be carrying around.
- In addition to this, you can also write down a list of the things that you want to do in your day (things to do list).
- You can also go as far with your imagination and try to write a letter for your self addressing the negative things in you that you would like to change.
- Also you can write down your future plans, and what you would like to achieve in the, lets say, ten years from now.
- Get out your cell phone and start reading all the messages on it, maybe it will remind you of something or someone you forgot about.
- Always keep your desk a mess, so you can always waste an hour or two rearranging it every morning (but don’t forget to mess it through by the time the day is done, so you can do this all over again in the morning).
- I am the kind of person who goes crazy when I forget a certain phrase in a song. What I usually do is try to write it all down to pick up the parts that I could have forgotten.
- The classic trick: Put a magazine or a letter between your books to read (look too serious and all concentrated).
- Drink lots of fluids, like water, coffee, juices so you can be able to go to the bathroom a lot (no one can blame you for fulfilling bodily functions).
- Dissect you pen or mechanical pencil to figure out how it works (this will be very useful in the future when the pen actually breaks, only then you will know how to fix it).
- If you have an internet connection, then you are in time wasting heaven, because the internet is a perfect time waster, you can do almost anything, and no one can prove that you aren’t working if you play it smart.
- You can always do the usual by checking you email, and connecting with people through Facebook, Hi 5, My space, and all those connecting sites.
- You can also update or create your own blog.
- Then you can check out anything you want, like cars, recipes, movies, historical facts, news, ect……
- There are new sites specialized in personality and IQ quizzes. It is always a good idea to take those quizzes; they help you to understand yourself even more. And when you do take them, share the results on Facebook and see your friends’ comments and results. It is really fun!!
- Key point here, is to ALWAYS have a window that is work related open, so that if your boss walked in on you, you can claim that you are researching something that will improve the work environment.
- Also, NEVER play games that may have sound effects.
I know that there are plenty of other ways to waste time, and that others do that more creatively than I do, but I believe it is always best to keep a low profile. The list given for tips is just a brief of what anyone can do in order to waste time at the office. But always remember not to do that daily so that you can still keep your job. A good employee is always entitled for such a day only once a week, probably the last day before weekend where all the work has been hectic and crazy. Enjoy wasting your time. And Remember: Kill time with style!
