Don't Think About It

Procrastination Techniques

You know what's not worth thinking about? Everything. Let's be real, most thoughts are just unnecessary worries or fleeting daydreams. Here are some effective techniques to train your brain into thinking less.

Staring at a Wall

Stare at the wall. Just stare. It's like meditation, but less zen. Try to think of nothing. Try to focus. Try to not think. It's like trying to hold your breath, but not really.

Or, you know, just look at the wall. That's it.

Getting Lost on Wikipedia

Find a topic you're mildly curious about, but not really invested in. Click that Wikipedia link. Click the link to the next article. Click the link to the next article. And the next article. You'll never think about the original topic, but you'll have a good time clicking.

Eventually, you'll end up on a random page about a topic you've never heard of, and you'll think, 'Wait, what was I doing?'

Playing Video Games for Hours

Video games are like the ultimate thought-killer. They're like a digital version of staring at the wall, but with better graphics and more explosions.

You can try to beat that level, or that boss, or that achievement. But you'll never really think about anything else, and that's the point.

Learn more about achieving nothing. Learn about designing levels that lead to nowhere.
