Zoom into Oblivion: Technique 2

Also known as the "Sudden Loss of Interest" technique, this method requires the ability to simultaneously forget everything you've learned and the will to pretend you're a confused tourist in a foreign country.

Step 1: Stare intensely at a wall for 5 minutes.

• Focus on the wall's texture. Is it smooth or rough?
• Notice the wall's color. Is it beige, white, or perhaps a soothing shade of blue?
• Try to remember what you were just doing before you stared at the wall.

Step 2: Walk away from the wall.

Proceed to the nearest coffee shop and order a large "Oblivion-Proof" latte. This will give you the much-needed caffeine boost to continue your descent into nothingness.

Continue to Step 3: Practice your "I have no idea what I'm doing" face.
