5 simple ways to avoid studying.

It’s the day before my first exam and I’ve just been thinking of all the random stuff I’m doing when I should be studying for exams. Here’s a list of the 5 most time consuming, study time wasting tasks you may want to engage in yourself:

  • Completely redesign your website, blog and twitter profile so that they all have the same design layout. Task roughly takes 20 hours.
  • Clean your room, wash your clothes, do your dishes, empty out all bins, and repeat every day until exams finish. Each cycle can take roughly 3 hours.
  • Partition/format a drive and isntall Windows 7 on it. Once all drivers are installed and Win7 is fully working move on to install Steam and your favourite games. Whilst these games are downloading and installing be sure to not revise and waste more time by watching trailers, previews, reviews and gameplay videos of the games you are downloading. Once the games are downloaded be sure to try and max out your Steam stats by gaining achievements and getting a Steam rating of 10. I can suggest The Orange Box (currently just £16.99) as a perfect set of games to get as a pre-exam time waster; there’s something there for everyone (fantastic single player FPSers, awesome online multiplayer FPS and an amazing puzzle game!). This task varies anywhere from 4 hours to 20 hours.
  • If you ever do find yourself finding the urge to start studying don’t worry! It’s always simple to find another excuse to get a break. Make sure to drink lots of liquids throughout the day as to make yourself go to the toilet as often as possible. Make sure to eat often in small portions. This helps you get away from the desk especially if you live in a two floor apartment you’ll have to spend more time walking down to the kitchen. You’ll probably find yourself running out of food too so a stop by a local sommerfields (or equivilant) to pick up haribos is always welcome! While you are on your way back why not stop by the the nearest (or furtherst if you want to waste even more time) Starbucks for a lovely Dark Berry Mocha to make yourself feel better while studying. These tasks can vary anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour.
  • If you still find that you’ve not wasted enough time before the day of your exams why not blog about it? This is an excelent way to share your thoughts with others and waste yet another half hour. Of course once you’ve finished blogging about it you’ll have to twitter, facebook and e-mail a link to your closest friends. Total time for these tasks combined is roughly 1 hour.

So there you have it! A list of 5 excelent time wasters for that special pre-exam time!

Guess what I’m doing?

Guess that should be a secret number 6, looking for ways to procrastinate.

Other good time wasters:

- Bloons for iPhone
- LivingSocial for facebook
- Browsing Digg.com

Each can vary from a quick 5 minute break to a long lasting hour session!
