Now I don’t want to delude myself by saying I’d be that funky professional with a shiny new career or work my ass off to earn an astronomical pay package. Let’s do simple things in life AKA let’s learn how to be useless in life!

Friends, I’ll be now sharing my own handpicked, brainstormed Pro ideas to kill time and thereby achieve the goal of remaining useless in life. Should you need any more assistance with killing your time successfully, please don’t hesitate to ask for it in the comment section at the end of this article!

  1. Get Up Early: Yes. I am giving you tips for being useless only. Get up early. The early bird always catches the fish. So…like I was saying, set your alarm to 4 Am. Get up early and make….(well, if you thought a good ‘to-do list’ then you’re wrong)…yourself a good cup of coffee. After this, go near the bed. Just stretch yourself a little (still yawning), cover yourself with a blanket, and, well… you pop off back to sleep! It’s super easy.

2. No Procrastination: Have you read all the material that’s there on the internet about procrastination? Have you found out its root cause? Hope you googled some tips and tricks to avoid procrastination. Well then, you’re pretty much good to go. You know what…if you have a packet of potato chips to be eaten tomorrow, why then will you wait until it becomes tomorrow? Eat it today and right away!

3. One task at a time: Oh, yes… I figured out you’re already feeling overwhelmed. With so much work on hand, I do believe you must slow down a little…no not gear up. Let’s say you have a bunch of your school books to be put away, then here’s what you do. Step by step. The first step is to relax. Tell yourself it’s ok to work sometimes! The second step is to take a deep breath. Aaah! Well…now the third step is to bend down and pick one book. Just one remember. You don’t want to tire yourself. And then the last step is to walk(!) towards the right destination where the book is to be put. Remember what Martin Luther King once said(just google it)…if you can’t walk crawl…but by all means keep moving!

4. Look at your smartphone: Okay. This one is a bang-on way to kill time. Keep the notification volume full. The same goes for the WhatsApp volume. Take a peek at your phone for every ping. Watch every video that anyone might send. Before you know it will be night and time for you to go to bed!

If anyone ever asks you what you’re doing…then don’t say I’m just lazing around. Just say I’m practicing the Dutch philosophy of Niksen (the art of doing nothing!).
