A Conversation for How to Pass Time

Mental lists

Wrinkled Rocker

I usually kill time by making lists of everything I would do if I only had the time.
I start with categorising the activites into work-related, home-related and personal.
Then I list the activities, functions, hobbies and ideas in a random order - this usually will take up the time that I have to kill.
In the event that I do still have some time left, I sort them in alphabetical order per category.
Should I still need to kill more time, I proceed to prioritise them in order of preference, decending order of cost and acending order of time necessary to plan and organise the activity...
(I'm sorry, I appear to have run out of time!)

i normally get out a pen and pad of paper, write a nifty heading on the top eg Plans for a horror film, things i must do tomorrow or why i hate yoghurt. Then i proceed to stare off into space for half an hour pretending to think about the list when actually i have completely switched off.

cafram - in the states.

Listing things mentally is the most effective time-waster...you're thinking of all the things you will do, one day, when you get around to it, and you're not worried about why you have time to kill - you can really let your mind go....dream the impossible and formulate diabolical schemes to be done....tomorrow, of course smiley - winkeye
